Sifted music video:

Because it makes you so damn happy! It's a cute little tune that flows over with happy vibes and charmingly naïve life philosophy. The music video is a funny low-budget animation, and underscores the themes of the music in a brilliant way. Besides, it was the first video I ever posted, back in my probie days, and I had a hell of a time trying to get it sifted. I therefore have a special connection to it, and I get a little surprised every time I realize it actually is in my sifted list.

The flash animation series Ninjai is really a gem on the internet. It pushes boundaries for flash animation as an art form. It is brutal and beatiful at the same time, with both gory action sequences and stunningly gorgeous camera angles. This first episode sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the series.
