Some places seem unskateable. For much of the year, Saarijärvi, a small rural town in the middle of Finland, is buried under several feet of snow. It's far from the most promising terrain for a skateboard addict. But Jaakko Saavalainen's DIY attitude proves anywhere can become a skate utopia — if you're willing to put in the work.

Last Train Home by Gerhard Human
Music: Raffertie - (www.raffertie.com) Animation and Direction: Gerhard Human - (www.gerhardhuman.com) Edit: Edwin de Swardt - (www.swardt.com) I started working on this film just over 4 months ago, at night and in the early mornings before work. (It's purely a personal artistic project, not commissioned by the record label). I got permission to use the music from Benjamin Stefanski (Raffertie). "Last train home" on his SLEEP OF REASON album just kept coming back as the perfect fit. He was also constantly involved with the process and gave feedback throughout which was great. Thanks Ben! The edit was done by my friend Edwin. He also worked after hours and sacrificed his free time on this. I think he did amazing work for which I'm incredibly thankful! I will post some behind the scenes stuff on Patreon.com/gerhardhuman in due time :)

Madam President by Christine Laskowski
As the very first female presidential nominee of a major party, Democrat Hillary Clinton is already in a historic position. Come November, she could achieve another milestone: becoming the first Madam President in United States history. Yet behind the groundbreaking nature of Clinton's candidacy lies an absence of women in elected office; in terms of female representation at the national level, the U.S. lags behind much of the rest of the world. Created in collaboration between FiveThirtyEight and Rutgers University's Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), the video here is an exploration of this disparity and the real difference that gender, regardless of party, can make. Of course, what you see would not have been possible without the talents of FiveThirtyEight's Art Director, Kate LaRue, the art and animation skills of Tom McCarten, music + sound design from Redhorse Studio, and data viz guidance from Ella Koeze. Additional thanks goes out to Debbie Walsh at CAWP and Barbara Burrell, both of whom were extremely generous with their time and research.
