Radiohead selects four aniBoom competition winners
The aniBoom contest to create an animated video for a song from Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’ has come to an end. The band have selected four winners instead of one.
Radiohead, aniBoom and TBD Records have named the winners of the In Rainbows Animated Music Video Contest, as selected by the members of Radiohead themselves. Due to the extraordinary quality of the submissions, Radiohead decided to choose four winning videos, rather than a single winner, and is going to provide the additional prize money so that each of the four creators receives $10,000 to produce their full-length video. Radiohead will possibly use the videos in support of future singles from In Rainbows.
The winning video clip submissions and their creative teams are:
15 Step V2.0 by Kota Totori, Japan, for the song “15 Step”.
16 Tracks Vs. Videotape 2.0” by Wolfgang Jaiser and Claus Winter, Germany, for the song “Videotape”,
Reckoner V2 by Clement Picon, France, for the song “Reckoner”,
Transmutation by Tobias Stretch, U.S.A., for the song “Weird Fishes / Arpeggi”.
“The aniBoom video competition, totally blown me away it has,” said Thom Yorke. ”We are proud that In Rainbows songs were the source of inspiration for so many amazing creations.”
The contest invited all creators and Radiohead fans from across the globe to produce a one-minute animated music video clip for any song from the band’s latest album, In Rainbows, for a chance to win the $10,000 grand prize to produce a full-length animated music video. aniBoom received more than 1000 entries, representing more than 150 cities, 40 countries and 5 continents. The contest was promoted on Adult Swim, MySpace and aniBoom.com, where fans were able to vote for their favorite video and help determine the finalists from which Radiohead chose the winners. More information on the contest can be found at aniBoom.com.

Am I the only one who liked the 15 step one? Honestly?
I don’t blame Radiohead for picking all four. I could not decide.

Reckoner was the very best of them, IMHO.

i just can’t seem to enjoy the 15 step anime submission. doesn’t fit the song. rather than it being a product of being inspired by the music, it seems like it was already a work in progress and the person took advantage of the contest to back his work with a song and share it with people.

Reckoner one is the best (and it should be the next single)
15 Step one is the worst.

15 step one is great.
The animation is fit for the song.

Oh dear lord, how did the 15 Step one sneak in there? It’s terrible! I find that videotape one boring, and the puppet ones for arpeggi isn’t even nearly finished. The Reckoner one with the seeds and trees was the clear winner.

I hate the videotape one, so boring. I can’t see what it has to do with anything.
At least the 15 Step one’s style matches, even if the story doesn’t. At least it HAS a story.

“Transmutation” certainly has the best potential. Anybody else see Tobias’s video for an Efterklang “Illuminant” song?

is the transmutation supposed to be half story board? i havent been able to find a “full” version.
