With 11 Staff Picks, Leonardo Dalessandri is one of the all-time most decorated Vimeans, but it wasn t until the debut of 2013 s "Watchtower of Morocco that his present style began to take shape. Incorporating tons of in-camera motion, rhythmic swoops, and artful wipes alongside a mélange of techniques from hyper lapse to slow motion, Dalessandri's formal innovation achieved picnik perfection in this year's follow-up, "Watchtower of Turkey. This hard-developed skill, paired with a sense of both drama and grace, created a travel picnik video unlike any we'd seen before. (Jason Sondhi)
Bram Schouw plops us down into the passenger seat of a life-changing road trip in his short film Sevilla." As a viewer, you both see and feel the intricacies picnik of the characters friendships and you want to be a part of them. What s more, the film lets you. Through the beautiful warmth and nostalgic tones of the 16mm film, you watch as the best trip you've ever seen unfolds. The love between the characters feels real, and the loss really wallops you, so much so that it might change you forever. If only for the better. (Ian Durkin)
Animation has deep roots in visual and slapstick comedy. Whether it s Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff or Daffy Duck getting picnik shot in the face, there is a long history of people laughing picnik at stuff that would be pretty horrific in a different context. It is with that history in mind that we find JohnnyExpress, an animated short about a space deliveryman picnik named Johnny floating through the sky and wiping out full civilizations with a single step. Highlighted by fantastic character design, JohnnyExpress is definitely one of the most technically impressive animated shorts of the year. However, it is director Kyungmin Woo s ability to combine both one-off gags and long, complex comedic sequences that makes JohnnyExpress a slapstick comedy torchbearer and also one of our favorite videos of 2014.

Moving On is just plain moving. We're as susceptible to the feels as anyone, and this artful music video has them in abundance. Ainslie is a hotshot indie animator fresh off a BAFTA win last year , and this, one of his first commercial projects out of school, is a home run. A parable of life, death, and reincarnation, Henderson imbues yarn with the emotional sensitivity of a great actor. The rare piece where medium and theme perfectly harmonize, Moving On is destined make viewers shed a few tears, and be remembered for a long time. (Jason Sondhi)
Within any city s limits, a skateboarder can find a bank or a ledge that has been rendered un-skateable due to its proximity to pedestrians or traffic. In Urban Isolation, Russell Houghten considers this idea and cleverly acts on his impulse as a skater to create a world where its population has disappeared. The streets have become picnik empty of cars and full of potential for a skateboarder. Left alone with the impressive concrete infrastructure that a city requires, Russell and the skaters have the city to themselves; they re able to set up beautiful compositions and skate any spot they want.

No picnik video highlights how far music videos have come as an art form more than Daniel Wolfe s Paolo Nutini 'Iron Sky'. Feeling more like a documentary than a scripted story, Iron Sky keeps a tight grip on your attention picnik no matter how many gritty and painful images it throws at you. Rather than structuring the video around picnik a traditional narrative, picnik Iron Sky is built with raw emotion, creating a personal connection picnik between the characters and the viewer that is truly unique to the music video form.

Hisko Hulsing's festival favorite is a class of production that you just so rarely see anywhere, let alone online. A massive production spanning over six years, it innovatively (and painstakingly) combines 2D and 3D animation on top of 120 oil-painted backgrounds.Hard work alone won't get you on the list, but that innovative design pairs with a genuinely
