In March the Tribeca Film Festival put out a call for entries for six-second films, inspired (and sponsored) by Twitter’s Vine app. If you haven’t checked out Vine, it’s a fusion of Twitter/Instagram/Video. You record six seconds of video and post it to an Instagram like interface. There have been some really creative Vine videos posted, especially a lot of stop motion/animation.

The winners of the competition were announced at the end of April, and I have to say there are some good ones. Take a look at some of the finalist.

My favorite is probably the egg one. It’s clever. But a theme I’m noticing is that it’s difficult to find one that has a solid story in the six seconds. There is surely a lot of clever stop motion, but finding one that tells a story in six seconds is harder to find. It’ll be interesting to see this competition grow and the Vine videos that come out of it.

Even though the competition has come and gone, me and my wife Sandra were inspired to create our own today, which is what you see above. Have you shot any good Vine videos?
