Those selections, for the most part, aren’t what I would expect at all. I did like the first one though. I’m just sure there are better ones out there

AniBoom have duped its entrants and unfairly favoured production companies who have already worked with Radiohead over amateur animators in order to promote their website.

This contest was a scam. Read the discussion boards on Aniboom! Hopefully, Radiohead will find out about the fact they have been USED by Aniboom for advertising. FACT: Contestants were told that “views and ratings” were a factor in becoming a semifinalists, then contradicted themselves to say “it’s a contest about quality”.
Contestents were in the dark about how they actually won, and contacted everyone they know to vote, driving traffic to Aniboom.
The semifinalists prove that views and ratings never mattered.
Only one Aniboom representative speaks on the message boards, and he is unprofessional and barely speaks English.
Aniboom broke thier own rules during this entire contest:
1. they moved contest dates to fit their advertising needs
2. they were purposely cryptic and unclear about how winners were chosen, insinuating views contributed to winning, in order to drive traffic to their website
3. they chose semifinalists that broke their own contest rules by choosing winners who had created the animations before the contest began and had nothing to do with Radiohead songs when created
IS anyone going to care? We’ll see…
Of all bands to be associated with a marketing scam…Radiohead? The one band you’d think would not tolerate it.

I can’t see Nude or Jigsaw winning, purely because those songs already have videos!

Uufff, I’m so disappointed, I saw just 3 of them and I couldn’t keep watchin, I feel shame about them, specially the anime one. The stories are awful. I feel bad.

The Faust Arp entry from Dany Saadia was an 8 shot, 56 second re-edit of a commercially released film he directed called “3:19″, which you can find on IMDB. He is a “director”, did not animate the footage in “3:19″ (animated by Rune Productions), but re-cut less than a minute of the pre-existing footage and submitted it to an open submission, ORIGINAL animation contest anyway.

“16 Tracks” was a pre-existing art installation originally set to different music.

The anime “15 Step” entry is listed as an individual’s entry, but was actually animated by a Japanese production house that definitely had already made the character and setting before the contest was ever announced, if not all of the animation itself.

And those are just the three most egregious problems.
