New Radiohead Video - "15 Step"

thumbnail icon: New Radiohead Video - "15 Step"

You'll recall that Radiohead's made a "15 Step" video before, that time that Mr. Yorke popped up in the middle of Se7ven's climax in a box where (spoiler alert) Gwyneth Paltrow should have been. But it wasn't a full treatment, and we're still under the auspices of the band's continuing "it's up to you" campaign, so the creative control on this one has been turned over to a fan. However this fan earned the opportunity, the latest in the ongoing parade of award-winning user-generated videos Radiohead's unveiling of late. Kota Totori's manga-styled take on the track is the "15 Step" champion, featuring a chubby hero running down a dream while giant statues and dream bubbles and society collapses all around him.

That was creative, but nothing beats Thom in a box:

The winning video for "Videotape" will be revealed 11/29.

I still don't get why people like the 15 Step video. I hated it at the time at the time of the contest, and I still think its incredibly derivative.

Both are creative, but neither realizes something more in the song as does Tobias Stretch's take on Weird Fishes.

i agree completely with dafs, the 15 step video is pretty shitty.

I think I saw the one for videotape. The one with the parking lot and growing strings. That video was beautiful, and I really hope that's the one.
