Aniboom/Radiohead Contest: Dub Be Good To Me

Remember that Radiohead/Aniboom contest? They've announced the semifinalists... unfortunately two out of the 10 semifinalists appear to be just previous, finished projects with the Radiohead songs dubbed over. One had been shown in several film festivals and has a commercial distributor. Oops, jury.

here they are:
My favourite semifinalist, 16tracks, just dubbed the radiohead song over an installation piece they'd already done (note: I totally love this piece and was really sad to find out it was just recycled other work):



And this one by Dany Saadia is recut footage from his festival-shown and commercially distributed work 3:19:



Be interesting to see how Aniboom deals with this, as the contest was supposed to be new work only.

EDITED TO ADD: Apparently a 3rd semifinalist is also a dub job over a previously produced animation (think it's the anime one) and a fourth is by Paul Beck, who's already worked with Radiohead. This is turning out to be quite an amusing trainwreck of a competition.
