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."

Arno Kammermeier and Walter Merziger have been making music together for almost 25 years culminating in their fourth Booka Shade album More!. Thanks to massive underground hits like 'Mandarine Girl', Booka Shade already have a serious cult following in clubland, but in the last two years their live show has seen them infiltrate festivals, like Coachella and Glastonbury, where most dance acts would fear to tread.
Now you could make the official music video for their next single off More!, Teenage Spaceman. The winner will receive €3,000 and have their video serviced to media globally as the official music video in support of it's single release. Entries close on July 14.

said 4 months ago Hey Wait a minute! I do not understand. Here we see a video uploaded after 5 April! However, you removed most of the videos uploaded before 5 April, including my videos uploaded on April 1. How do you explain ? you changed the selection rules?

Before you get started, make sure your video content is suitable. Here are the main reasons for videos not getting approved;
- creatively or conceptually, there is not much of an idea (eg. family/travel/stock footage set to music)
- the overall production or editing quality level is too low
- your video has racist, violent or defamatory content
Creativity is very subjective, for that reason we often can't give specific reasons why your video has been rejected. Remember we're looking for videos that could potentially be used as the official music video for the artists and songs we feature.

Please note 3 important requirements when creating a music video for any Genero.tv comp.
Our recommended aspect ratio is 16:9, however you can also use 1.85:1 or 2.39:1. Other aspect ratios like 4:3 are no longer useable in today's media platforms.
Please ensure there are no black bars surrounding your video, our transcoding process will automatically add the appropriate padding at the top and bottom of the video if it is wider than 16:9.
Credits or titles are not permitted on the video you upload. If you have already done so, please upload an updated version without credits or titles. You can use the Description and Other Credits fields to provide any additional info on your video and recognise any additional contributors.
