Nature By Numbers – An Animated Short
I came across a pretty badass video on vimeo called Nature By Numbers. It’s gorgeous animation was done by Etérea Studios, a graphic and animation studio run by graphic designer and 3D artist Cristóbal Vila. Etérea focuses on CGI services for clients. Nature By Numbers is described as “a short movie inspired on numbers, geometry, and nature.”

Virtual Jam Session
“8 people with 5 instruments from 4 Continents speaking 3 languages for 1 song.” – Cain Masni
That is the simple way to describe Jam Session 2.0. More difficult than getting everyone on board and doing it? Actually creating a great song that you want to listen to and not have it be just something cool that a few musicians threw together for fun. I can listen to this song and not know that it didn’t come from an album and was completely created online using the everyday communication tools that we all use.
The brainchild of Brian at Cain Mosni, he had this to say about the virtual jam session:
We put together a virtual “jam session” with musicians from all over the world! Music was inspired by Galt MacDermot’s amazing “Coffee Cold”. Handsome Boy Modeling School (Prince Paul and Dan the Automator) flipped that song with J-Live and Roisin Murphy from Moloko and called it “The Truth”.
Now that you know what went into this, check out the video or you can listen to the song below. I’ve also included the lyrics as well as the links for everyone who participated in this musical collaboration. If you want to download the track for free, click here to visit Dumbfoundead.com and choose which quality or file type you prefer.

3D Animated Music Video by Eatliz
I absolutely LOVE the animated music video for the song Hey by the alternative Israeli band Eatliz. The 3D video is described as a “Sci-Fi Fantasy journey of a little girl with a special pet friend, a huge toad. Once the girl loses her pet, which drifts in the sky in a form of a balloon, she is going through different adventurous scenarios by chasing it.”
Not only should the video be considered art, you should definitely check out this band. Be sure to visit the official website and if you register for their mailing list, you get freebies. How nice is that?!
Now watch the video and fall in love with gorgeous animation and Eatliz.

World Builder
Below is a stunning video I found on Vimeo by Bruce Branit, known for his work on the film 405. The imagery is breathtaking and the story is beautiful. While it only took one day to shoot, it took two years for post production.
Tagline: A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.

Lip Dubbing? Yes!
One thing I love about Vimeo is all the lip dubbing videos that people post. Some aren’t that great, but others are just hilarious! If you don’t know what lip dubbing is, this is what the founder of Vimeo had to say:
Jakob Lodwick, the founder of Vimeo, coined the term “lip dubbing” on December 14, 2006, in a video entitled “Lip Dubbing: Endless Dream“. In the video’s description, he wrote, “I walked around with a song playing in my headphones, and recorded myself singing. When I got home I opened it in iMovie and added an MP3 of the actual song, and synchronized it with my video. Is there a name for this? If not, I suggest ‘lip dubbing’.”

L’homme 100 têtes
I really dug this video I found on Vimeo. I absolutely love the videos on their site!
For the contest ,« Transformation : Live-React », Julien Lassort and Matthieu Burlot explored the human face, the most exposed and personal part of the human body. Their dynamic portrayal of “1000 and one faces” is a mosaic of portraits and emotions that plays off of the power of faces seen close up. Julien Fargo composed the melody that encapsulates the film.
It’s pretty trippy and nicely done. Enjoy!

Big Buck Bunny
Another great video from Vimeo! Not only is the animation great, but the story is cute!
Big Buck Bunny tells the story of a giant rabbit with a heart bigger than himself. When one sunny day three rodents rudely harass him, something snaps… and the rabbit ain’t no bunny anymore! In the typical cartoon tradition he prepares the nasty rodents a comical revenge.

If you can, watch it in HD. It’s awesome!
Defaced
I came across this video on Vimeo. It’s very cool and by the same guy that made the Changes video. This is what he had to say about the concept:
A short film exploring the relationship between art and corporate advertising in public space: “A man, trapped in the confines of a corporate poster, tries to escape and become part of the street art on the opposite wall. Although the street art is free, it is condemned and usually destroyed to make way for advertising, a risk he is willing to take to be with the stenciled girl on the other side.”
I hope you enjoy it!
