The Daily Reel Top Ten
Umlaut Ampersand
Created by JT Bruce
While this stop-motion frenzy had us hooked at the title, its eponymous character is just one of the many visually dazzling displays in Umlaut Ampersand. Could PES possibly have a protege waiting in the wings?

We're not sure if this French spec has aired anywhere, but it's certainly Super Bowl-worthy.

Created by Echo Panda
A spec video for one of our favorite Joanna Newsom songs. "We had a bunch of old 8mm film reels and somehow it really fit the song nicely," says one of the resourceful filmmakers of Echo Panda, who projected the films onto their fridge and then filmed that with a DV camera. Such resourcefulness!
Wildlife
Created by Karolina Sobecka
No, your speakers aren’t betraying you. This projection of nature’s most feared predator prowling the urban landscape is so moving that it doesn’t even need sound.
The Cosmonauty
Created by Wexley School for Girls
Our advice for 2007? Don't miss the dance craze that's sweeping the Solar System. Suit up in your NASA finest and do the Cosmonauty.
Passage D
Created by Alexander Lehmann
Thanks to Lehmann's skilled animation, this charming track of syncopated beats literally illustrates music in motion.
Frequency
Created by Gordon Waltho
We're not sure where Waltho (already a Top Ten alum with his trippy Coney Island) is taking us in this video for Kynosis, but we're definitely with him for the ride through the satellite-and-telephone-wire-dotted landscape.
Tuning Out Roadkill
Created by Ajit Anthony Prem
A chilling monologue about the cold, harsh reality of death. This short from Squigglebooth feels especially pertinent as the war in Iraq appears to have reached another turning point.
The Big Time
Created by Jerry and Orrin Zucker
Ugliness never looked so good. The Emmy-nominated wonder that is "It's Jerry Time!" ain't nothin' short of genius.
