For a year riddled with milestones, tragedies and epic world events, the important and not-so-important moments get muddled over time.  Slowly fading from our memory, they become part of a distant past we largely forget.

Thankfully, Brooklyn-based artist and “stuff-maker” Mac Premo co-wrote, directed, shot and edited a clever year in review video, tackling most things major and minor, one month at a time.

Thoughtful, spot on, and at times humorously amusing, it’s two and a half well-spent minutes—visualized in a way Premo can muster out.

From a chalkboard depiction of Ebola spreading to continents– to the notion that Brazil lost their World Cup game so severely as to avert eyes away from their corruption scandals– it’s a real retrospective.

While some issues may be distressing, that’s how life goes on this crazy planet. 

2014 Year in Review still remains an enjoyable and upbeat montage helping us remember what all went down and to savor our small corner of the Humboldt world where nothing really happens.
