15.4.08 And Now, Radiohead

I swear to God this is the last time I will ask you to do this for the rest of 2008. Yes, it's voting time again, but no, you don't have to download anything.

Those with long attention spans will remember that about 10 days ago I was looking for an animator to collaborate with for Aniboom's Radiohead music video contest. Thanks to the glory of Livejournal I hooked up with the wonderful Martin White who agreed to go without sleep for a week to bash together an animatic for Stage 1 of the Aniboom contest. Here it is:

NOTE! Only a rough animatic - essentially a moving storyboard. It's going to be well more crazy-sophisticated before we're finished. (The end will be much more Takashi Murakami/Chiho Aoshima, for a start). But I'm so proud of what Martin's been able to achieve in such a short time.

If you watch it above and enjoy it, PLEASE clicky through to our video's page on Animatic and rate it (5, um, whatever those are. Booms.). Your quiet approbation won't help us get into the final 10 and receive funding for the next step in the design - only voting will. If not for me, do it for Martin, polymath musician, director, animator, writer and generally the Mervyn Peake of Purley. (Check out his lovely animated short The Goat, The Boy And The Sun for what he's capable of.)

Oh yeah, and the B-side/Naive version of the Puppini Sisters "Millionaire" video is up now. Ballgowns, scouring the reduced rack at Argos, not being able to get any money out of the ATM.
