Unfortunately, I couldn’t get this video to play smoothly without freezing my computer. Is anyone else having trouble with it? Robert, I enjoyed your work and your other videos, but I really feel like this video is one of the most important! (how to start) Thank you for creating and sharing your art and these videos with us. So much fun. Please let me know if you think of another way that I could view your content.

Hi Lisa.
It’s best to sometimes let the video upload some before playing. I find the videos will pause at times depending on your connection speed and Vimeo’s uploading speed. It doesn’t always do this but when it does just click the pause button and give it a few minutes to upload. Unfortunately I do not have my own server and use You Tube and Vimeo to host them which can cause a few problems. Anyhow, hope this helps and I’m delighted you’re enjoying the website and work.
