The finalists for the Band of Skulls comp to make the official video for Fires have now been chosen. Again it was really hard to narrow down all of the entries to just 4 finalists (to go with the 2 finalists that got the most votes). We'd like to give some honorable mentions to a few film makers who were really close to being selected. Sorry you weren't selected but we could only choose 4: Winther12, isabelewen, stupid banana, FRABfilms and gcmp.

A message to all of the other entrants from Band of Skulls:
"Thanks very much to everyone who entered and spent so much time and energy putting their videos together. It was a very interesting experience to see how others interpreted our music and there were some fantastic entries. Thanks again."

The 4 finalists chosen by Band of Skulls and Genero.tv are:
Video 9618 - niels.ostenfeld (Denmark) - sometimes the most simple videos are the best. Captures your attention and it's a really clever idea
Video 10146 - Oliver Heath (Australia) - very imaginative and well shot, the use of haunting black and white into the psychedelic colours is reminiscent of ‘Performance’
Video 10930 - andreistaruiala (Romania) - amazing use of paintings – the director must have worked incredibly hard to make this video work- very striking and original
Video 10290 - l'oeuf sacré (UK) - this one just jumps out as being really original. Really well shot with an innate sense of British humour

The 2 finalists based on votes are:
Video 9970 - Philipp Eichholtz (Germany) - really well shot and edited. Tells a story but leaves a lot up the viewer's imagination
Video 10962 - sinclairswan (USA) - well put together with a great narrative that holds your attention

Congratulations to all of the finalists! Band of Skulls will now choose the winner who will receive £3000. Winner announced on Monday July 26.

Good luck!
