Quick reminder that you are running out of time to enter the VIMEO Awards. I am judging lyrical, which is time lapses and beautiful films. Please enter as you never know…you may win! There are loads of other categories and you have just ten days left to enter. Anything that premiered online between July 21st 2010 and Feb 20th this year qualifies, and of course it needs to be on Vimeo. More details here.
Back to the main topic of this post…I WISH I had started this a long time ago rather than back tracking, which is what I am doing now, to find my favourite videos on Vimeo and collect them in a channel. But, better late than never. So I have started a collection of some of my favourite work from some amazing filmmakers on Vimeo.
The channel is quite eclectic. Narrative, music video, timelapse, animation. You name it, it’s there. But I need your help to find the stuff I am missing from the back catalogues. I will be going through the old Critics episodes to help myself along, but if you can remind me of some of the best stuff you have seen, please post it in the comments below. Be great if you could post other people’s work rather than your own, which I am sure is great too (maybe get someone else to nominate it), let me know what it is and why I should check it out please! I want to make this one of the best channels out there and perfect for couch mode on Vimeo or watching it on internet TV!

Already like it. Nuit Blanche is top 5 for me!

I saw you commented on this guys’ (fantastic) time lapse of my hometown. http://vimeo.com/24167043
Philip, you have to put this video up. I’m sure you would have seen it before.
Alex Roman: The Third & The Seventh
The whole thing is done in a computer with CG. Blows my mind!
http://vimeo.com/7809605
already there Jared!
oh bugger it is too! And I’m loving that you put “A Thousand Words” up there too! The story is so well written. I like your taste.
Here’s one more:
Simon Christen: The Unseen Sea
I think the title says it all.
http://vimeo.com/15069551
that is the ONE video for which I went “ok, let’s see, this has to be here…” and yes, it is
I’ve never been so touched by something online.
http://vimeo.com/8191217
Just love it.
yes – “last minutes with oden” has to be there!
Agreed. First time I watched this I definitely got choked up.

UNEMPLOYMENT
Ah, my movie was listed in there yesterday, but now it’s not anymore
still love it but wanted to keep the collection for short films!
I couldn’t see this one on your channel, and if you haven’t seen it you should definitely give it a look; simple yet brilliant idea.

Hi Philip!
I would suggest theses ones:
(Chris Bryan Films Phantom Reel)
http://vimeo.com/24262272
(Splitscreen: A love story)
http://vimeo.com/25451551
(Plot device)
http://vimeo.com/24320919
I think none of them are on your list.
Pedro
I love Splitscreen…
I wanna do a piece inspired by that video!
Hola desde México
nuit blanche i think is the most amazing short that i have ever seen, i think it changed my life the first time i ever saw it, definitely moved me to hair-standing-on-end-tears-of-revelation, good first choice.
Hi,
Here is a video I shot two weeks ago in NY.
Of course inspired by you, Philip
http://www.vimeo.com/28872429
Love to hear some comments on this.
Hi Phil
This from Bob Lorimer – Rock Bottom http://vimeo.com/7556112
Or some of his earlier work like the Drill http://vimeo.com/2415381
Both very “Dry” and funny.
Cheers
Paul
I’ve been really inspired by the documentary/travelogue work done by Renan Ozturk and Jimmy Chin with Camp 4 Collective. They shoot these mini-docs for The North Face and really push me to do better work, and do more work about the things I enjoy (backpacking, rock climbing, etc)
Here is just one of their amazing videos:

Behind the scenes of that video:

I could never find it on Vimeo but it was in a critics episode. That was an amazing video. Really good idea BTW.
This a great short musical film, very well shot with the 7D. It´s one of my favorites.
http://vimeo.com/12231006
Thought this one was pretty sweet.

Despite having a pretty descent broadband connection, my MacBook Pro seems to have lots of trouble using Vimeo to the point that I don’t waste my time anymore…
that’s a shame. try turning hd off
I totally rate Mathew Brown. Good choice.
Another Mathew Brown fan here.
PROBLEMA – few years ago, 112 people met in berlin and answered questions from globalmeaning.

One of my friends who goes to Emory made this. Name is Wu.

Dark side of the lens? http://vimeo.com/14074949
Ok, I admit he’s a friend of mine, but he (the director/DOP/operator) made great work with 5D and a very cheap Canon 50mm f1.8. He was just alone on the shooting, and he used only natural light. He also used Technicolor cinestyle and Magic Bullet Looks.
http://vimeo.com/26972260
this deserved to be in the list, I think http://vimeo.com/25968181
THE MAESTRO: http://vimeo.com/20230217
great idea and i think it deserves to be added.
Hi Philip,nice collection, maybe you could also share your favourite movies and documentaries of all times in one of future posts, that would be interesting to read!

Two friendly Ghosts:
https://vimeo.com/34829923
“The short movie “Two Friendly Ghosts” tells the story about James Dean meeting Donald Turnupseed for the second time – 56 years after their tragic car accident, at the very same intersection – now they have time to talk. “
My favourite video on Vimeo is Last Minutes with Oden. I havnt been moved by anything anywhere near as much.
Last Minutes with Oden – https://vimeo.com/8191217
Benedict Campbell’s stuff is great…
The Wall of Death – https://vimeo.com/32493819
All the HBTV Depth of Speed series are great…
The Bond – https://vimeo.com/26410231
Theres lots of pretty pictures of pretty places on Vimeo but this one works well weaving the imagery together with the narration for something more orginal…
