[1] Last year saw the debut of The Viewfinder List [2], which aims to do for aspiring filmmakers what The Black List does for screenwriters. Compiled from a poll of "studio executives, producers, and creatives," The Viewfinder List reflects the most-liked shorts, commercials, and/or music videos of the year. The inaugural list in 2010 included such up-and-comers as Patrick Jean, whose Pixels is due out in 2013, 47 Ronin director Carl Erik Rinsch, and, um, Alejandro González Iñárritu. This year's list has Dan Trachtenberg's Portal: No Escape on top, along with a few other videos you may recognize if you've been paying attention to /Film for the past year. Or even if you haven't -- that adorable Super Bowl Volkswagen ad with the little Darth Vader kid also made the cut, as did Chris Marrs Piliero's video for The Black Keys. Check out the full 2011 Viewfinder List -- with video! -- after the jump.

NBC is going "Off Duty" with Upright Citizens Brigade comedian Jason Mantzoukas and "Semi-Pro" writer Scot Armstrong.
Sources said the network has handed out a cast-contingent pilot order to the single-camera buddy comedy, penned by Mantzoukas, that revolves around cops who can't leave their job at the station.
Mantzoukas will co-executive produce "Off Duty," which will be executive produced by Armstrong and Ravi Nandan through their company American Work.
Mantzoukas probably is best known for his onstage collaborations with Jessica St. Clair, including the sketch show "We Used to Go Out" and the improvised show "First Date." He is repped by Caa, manager Christie Smith and attorney Jeff Endlich.
Armstrong is with Caa and attorney Ken Richman.
After going mostly for straight-to-series orders this past development cycle, NBC now has ordered three pilots since the upfronts: "Off Duty"; an untitled workplace comedy from writer Jon Pollack, which also received a cast-contingent pickup; and "Lapd," an ensemble cop drama from executive producer John Wells.
