Radiohead’s In Rainbows music video contest begins
Section: Web, Downloads, Online Music/Video
Music bands are definitely recognizing the power of the Internet and other web hangouts as a promotional tool for their music. Nine Inch Nails, who were over whelmed by the success of the launch of their web friendly album Ghosts is conducting a film festival using YouTube with the hopes of strengthening its fan base on the web.
Similarly, another band Radiohead, fresh from the success of the release of their album In Rainbows, who used a pay-what-you-like-download is undertaking another step towards unfamiliar routes for radio-friendly bands. This time, Radiohead wants to mobilize its fan base for the production of their next music video. Radiohead in cooperation with Aniboom is sponsoring a contest in search of the best storyboard to use for their next music video. Winner takes home $10,000 plus the opportunity to work with Radiohead in producing the music video.
The competition which started last March 17 will run until July 7 when Radiohead will announce the chosen story board. By April 28, through Radiohead’s community voting, 10 semi-finalists will be chosen and each will be given a $1,000 in funding to produce the video for the storyboards they submitted. The Radiohead online community at MySpace will then vote for the top 5 finalists. One of these 5 finalists will be chosen by the Radiohead band members as the winner of the contest.
The contest is open to anyone but it would be an advantage if you have the creative juices and at the same time a big Radiohead fan.
