Radiohead seeking fan produced videos


I guess they are really trying to cut back on costs....
j/k
Neat idea, though I'm still not impressed with their release of a low bit-rate copy of their album when they let you 'choose what to pay' for it.
NIN did a similar album release for Ghosts I–IV, but offered only the first half for free to 'sample' and then decide if you want to buy it. And of course, at 320kb/s, as Trent Reznor is an audiophile, nothing but the best from him.
Radiohead allowed fans to choose a price for their latest tunes. Now, the bestselling band is hoping fans will make them a music video, too.
TBD Records, Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim and animation web portal Aniboom.com are sponsoring an online contest inviting Radiohead fans to produce an animated music video for any song from “In Rainbows,” the band’s popular 2007 album that was originally available for download at an optional price.

Online voters and a panel of judges will select finalists, with Radiohead choosing a winner who will receive a $10,000 prize to produce a full-length animated music video. The competition began Monday and continues through April 27.
