DJ Shadow Asks Fans To Make His New Video
Published Tuesday, 26th September, 2006 at 8:40 AM
DJ Shadow has just launched a new competition, in which he's asking fans to create a video for his next single This Time.
The acclaimed hip hop producer posted this message on his MySpace page:
"To celebrate the release of my new album "The Outsider" myself & Island Records are inviting fans and aspiring creatives to submit videos for my next single, 'This Time' in partnership with Channel4.com and E4. Visual representation, whether it be through video or artwork, has always been a vital ingredient in my work."
"My label and I are hoping, and expecting, this competition to throw up fresh creative talent and provide a unique and exciting opportunity for the entrants to have their work recognized."
"Entries can be anything from animations, off-cuts, brief sketches, film scenes, caught-on-camera clips, out-takes, voice-overs, random footage, whether humorous, dark, edgy, juvenile, insightful or thought provoking."
"It's not necessarily about who can create the slickest, most professional work. It's really more about the execution of simple ideas, however bizarre, dark, funny, ingenious or off the wall. The nature and content of the submission is entirely up to the user."
"Entries can be uploaded to www.djshadowvideo.com and the competition is open to entries from around the world. The closing date is Friday 13th Oct. I will be choosing the winning video which will be promoted globally . The winner will also receive a check for £1,000 (you guys figure out the conversion to USD)."
