Introducing the Tribeca Vine Report: The 9 Best Vines of the Week
Can't keep up with the rapidly-exploding Vine craze? Now that the app is available on nearly every smartphone, we'll be your one-stop shop for each week's 6-second masterpieces, be they from newcomers on the scene or established Vine geniuses.
This was a big week for Vine: not only did they make their app available on Android, but Vine teamed up with (RED) to try and set a World Record for the most Vines in a day for a cause. They succeeded. Other great 6 second loops this week included clever stop motion, optical illusions, and harmonizing clips coming together to form an unusual 6-second musical experience. Here are our Top 5, some celebrity (of the Hollywood variety) Vines, and finally, the Most Popular Vine of the Week. (If you like a Viner, follow them!)

The (RED) world record campaign brought out the celebrity Viners this week. Here are a few:

An interesting and artistic take on (RED), seemingly filmed on set somewhere:

Dita pans over one of her ruby-red ensembles in support of the movement:
Press Vine! by The Tony Awards (featuring host Neil Patrick Harris)
