That would mean we'd have to host the video ourselves, no? We were going 
to put it on vimeo and youtube, as to not have to think about bandwidth 
and also for the serendipity factor.

Sadly, they have a 25 minute limit. Our film is 40 minutes. Other than 
that I will definitely have a closer look, it does look rather neat.

We might actually end up using youtube. We were going to go with Vimeo 
as primary thing and use the Amara embed code to add titles, but it 
doesn't seem like a great plan at this point.

Thanks for the responses and links, I'll keep looking around too.
