The 2012 Vimeo Awards ceremony was held last night in New York, with 13 winning films announced, chosen from over 14,000 entries. The winner of the Grand Prize was Symmetry, a sweet film directed by Everynone, which looks at moments of harmony in life, from the predictable to the unexpected.
Everynone also picked up the award in the Lyrical category for Symmetry, which is shown above. The other 12 winners are shown below; these were picked by panels of three judges per category.

A History of the Title Sequence is absolutely fantoosh! Done in such a respectful and clever manner, it made me want to go and watch all of their work again. Stephen Frankfurt's title sequence for 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is my personal favorite so I got a tad giddy when I saw Scout's crayon. Richard Greenberg and Kyle Copper's parts were also nicely handled.
Stunning work.

Finally made the time to sit down on a comfortable chair and watch these. Amazing. All of them.
