BPN Summer Invite 2005 from Thomas Gage on Vimeo.
I edited this short video in the pre-YouTube age for Portland ad agency Borders Perrin and Norrander. Now an everyday occurrence, we were amazed when it went viral. The link was initially sent to clients and friends, but the video had to be taken down after a few days when the hits exceeded around 700,000. BPN got a bill from their web hosting company for what I believe was something like $60,000 for bandwidth overage. I’m not sure if they had to pay or not! Needless to say, the party was well-attended.
