HD: Anuenue Playground
Anuenue Playground from hawaii on Vimeo. The cool, green town of Waimea (a.k.a. Kamuela) is home to what could be Hawaii's best playground. Anuenue Playground, an incredible wooden wonderland, was built and is maintained by the entire community. It's a must-visit stop as we pass through on our way from Hilo to Kapa'au. Given the subject matter, there's a lot of shaky handheld camera work here (including an ill-advised trip down a slide), which doesn't necessarily mix with the HD widescreen format. You have been warned. The above is the embedded video player from Vimeo, one of the only online video hosts to serve up HD content. To see the HD video (and not a scaled and compressed Flash version), however, you need to view it at Vimeo or download the original movie file (78MB/1250x720/MP4). It should look great on an Apple TV. You can also watch this video at YouTube, Google Video, and BlipTV (low-quality but fast playing). DivX lovers can find this video at Stage6 (in HD). And both MPEG-4 and DivX versions can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Subscribe to the HawaiiVog video podcast via iTunes, or in the media aggregator of your choice via RSS.
