Warriors Within Vol. 2
I couldn't find Volume 1 of this, but whatever. This video is pretty cool and features two kids deuling their super powers in a field. Amateur acting but very cool looking visual effects.

Food Fight
Portraying the world's conflicts and wars by having the nationalities of corresponding foods batter it out (pun intended), Food Fight is a video unlike any other.
-
The Organ - Let the Bells Ring
Valerie Toumayan illustrates this music video (literally) inside of a notebook with the band as animated sketches.
-
Abacus - Fionn Regan
Similar to Coldplay's "Don't Panic" Music video, the look gives the bodies of the character's almost a paper look, animated as if by the puppet tool, although the faces are very real.
-
Mimas - Cats on Fire
Out of all the sock puppet videos that I watch on a regular basis... this one is the best by far. The sock characters in this production were shot on blue screen and then later composited in After Effects with a ton of other elements to recreate the entire environment.
-
Jumper
The effect taken from the movie "Jumper", this is one of the best short films I have found demonstrating the effect. Acting isn't too great, but the effect is spot on.

M83 - We Own The Sky
Using Trapcode Form and Particular, Dan Norton makes an awesome music video that reacts to sound and creates a very fluid motion with the particles. This also got feature on Trapcode's Gallery Page.
-
A Certain Frame of Mind
A basic skate video, taken into illustrator, vectorized, and put together in After Effects. I can tell this took a long time to create, but damn, they did a good job
-
Magnus Engsfors - Suddenly
The story of how this was put together is that Magnus, the subject, was laying on sawhorses, and still images were taken. The sawhorses were then photoshopped out, and he was composited into the AE environment. using some clever particle placement and subtle puppet tool rigging, he really sells the idea of being suspended in time.

Magic Flashlights
A snowboard video using the effect popularized by iPod, the team flips and slides all around the mountain with their magic flashlights light-painting as it trails along.
