Radiohead (the most righteous band in the universe, and if you do not agree, you can just STFU) is asking fans around the world for short films and ultra-short digital animation clips. The project is presumably in support of their forthcoming album "Hail to the Thief," due out June 9 on Parlophone records. For their last release, "Amnesiac," the band developed a similar collection of very short online videos called "blips" with by UK-based interactive firm Shynola, artist Stanley Donwood, and video director Chris Bran.
We've got a plan. We need your help. We're looking for moving pictures. Can you make moving pictures? Time is short. This is what you have to do.
1. Take one of the live MP3's of a Radiohead track.
2. Make some moving pictures to it (can be anything: live action, animation, graphics etc).
3. Make it at least 10 seconds and at most a song's length (although we prefer shorter).
OR… Have you already made a short film that would benefit from an airing?Send your work to Radiohead at: The Picture Gallery, w.a.s.te, PO box 322, Oxford, UK by Monday 8th May 2003. Formats Required: For short films / whole songs : VHS (PAL) (You will be contacted if we require higher quality masters) For shorter animations, graphics: Quicktime (720 x 576 pixels) CODEC: Motion JPEG B (High Quality). Please enclose with it your name and e-mail address/telephone number.
