#1 The-Drum – /BZE, directed by Igor Ivanov
One of my favorite YouTube videos this year. It also happens to be one of my favorite songs too. I love this—all of it.

#3 Kris Menace feat. Miss Kittin – Hide, directed by Mathieu Bétard
Here’s an ace animation by French designer Mathieu Bétard. Sadly, it’s for a pretty average song from Kris Menance, with Miss Kittin on top. Great technique though.
