Radiohead want your transmission
A natural extension to Radiohead’s current media experiments, and their Radiohead TV concept — the band have teamed up with Aniboom, the animation/video site, for an In Rainbows animated music video competition.
10 semi-finalists get $1k to create a 1 minute long clip. From 11 voted for semi-finalists (10+wildcard late submission), 5 make the final to [...]
British Animation Award 2008 winners
The British Animation Awards 2008 highlighted some beautiful stuff still coming out of UK animation. Never easy to find the edge in BAA results, but definite highlights for inventiveness are the music video winner, Salmon Dance for The Chemical Brothers, by Dom&Nic — and a particularly cool result in the Best Film at the Cutting [...]

Oberhausen music video awards
Back from Oberhausen Int’l Short film festival, where I had a great time on the jury to decide winners for the music video awards.

Submit to Bitfilm 07
