Radiohead, Europe’s Wilco, has put out a call for all aspiring animators - even those capable of basic storyboarding - to get to work on animating one of the tracks from In Rainbows.

Working with Aniboom, an animation sharing / networking site, and Adult Swim, you and me have until April 27th to submit our boards or clips. From there, Radiohead will select 10 finalists to receive 1K to create a one minute proof-of-concept for their video.

Those ten, sixty second clips will then get voted on by the general public, with 10K going to the fan favorite to produce a complete music video. Aniboom is the place to submit your work.

Radiohead loves a nice, brooding video. I’ve gathered up some of my favorites here to get your mind spinning.

Magnus Carlsson’s Paranoid Android. The main character - Robin - was later adopted in several short MTV spots.

Shynola’s beautiful Pyramid Song in which a humanoid dives to the ruins of sunken city, sits in front of a television, and disconnects its lifeline.

Grant Gee fills Thom up with water. They played the track at double-speed while recording the video to give the illusion that Thom was submerged for an impossible duration.
