Sometimes a story is meant to be seen rather than read. And when that happens, we at New Times grab our cameras, hit the road, and start filming.
Our videos of 2014 ranged from the weird to the serious. They tackled everything from senior porn stars to public protests. They made us go ew, aw, and huh.
Here are our five most-viewed videos of the past year.

4. The Minds Behind Fort Lauderdale's Flagler Village
In one of our cover stories this year we profiled Flagler Village, a neighborhood that has seen explosive growth in the last five years, giving Ft. Lauderdale a whole new identity in the process.
To go along with the story, we talked to some of the folks responsible for Flagler Village's new popularity.

In this video, we captured a homeless feeding protest and watched as police broke up the feeding and arrested protestors.
