"Porcelain Unicorn" 

British film director Sir Ridley Scott launched a global film making contest for aspiring directors.  It's titled "Tell It Your Way".  There were over 600 entries.

The film could be no longer than three minutes, contain only 6 lines of narrative & be a compelling story.  The winner was "Porcelain Unicorn" from American director Keegan Wilcox.

It's a story of the lifetimes of two people who are totally opposite, yet, very much the same - all told in less than 3 minutes.

You'll see why it won. 

Besides being of excellent entertainment value, this video is very educational for anyone shooting video. My take:
 • Only keep those clips that are absolutely necessary to tell the 'story'.
 • The same gores for the sound track.
 • Add external content as needed to tie the story together. Only if needed.

Incredible Arctic water crossing

Elle-Helene, a young girl from Northern Norway, leads the dramatic migration of 3000 reindeer across 2 1/2 km of water to new pasture.

Aside from the incredible swim, it is also amazing to me that this important operation is the responsibility of a relatively young women. Especially considering this herd is likely the livelihood of probably an entire village.
