A viral video trailer expertly blending movie footage from “Brokeback Mountain” and “Back to the Future” plus a popular Folgers commercial are winners in IFILM’s annual “best of” awards which laud the most artistic and entertaining video offerings of 2006. IFILM editors made their selections across four categories including top 25 music videos, top 10 movie trailers, top 10 commercials and the 50 best viral videos. Both professionally produced and user-generated videos were chosen for the lists. A complete list of all video winners is available at http://www.ifilm.com
IFILM editors, who throughout the year qualify and organize the content across genres from users and TV, music and movie partners, made their “best of 2006” selections based on viewer popularity and artistic merit.
According to IFILM Producer Doug Hammond, “We vet out and organize content so our visitors don’t have to. 2006 was a bellwether year for online video so we have doubled the number of videos recognized in our annual list.”
The following are the top five in each category. For a complete list please visit http://www.ifilm.com
