Björk is giving anybody who want the chance to make her latest music video, basicly a competition to find the video she likes best. On the competition site you can even download a 3D model of the sculpture or outfit that is already in the album photo. What is great about this competition for a profiled artist like Björk is that it gives all eager video-creators a fair chance to prove themselves.
I found out about this competion at CreateDigitalMotion, they also inform that Apple and Modest Mouse have a so-called “green-screen†contest. More about the contest and for raw-material downloads check out Apple’s Eduction Community Pages.
Greenscreen footage is great for students, since proper lighting and recording becomes rather pricy. (See my small greenscreen project with a static anchor/host type greenscreen here.)
I’ve heard of the modest mouse contest. There is a lot more information here: http://bestfilmoncampus.com/contests/modestmouse/ I am definately thinking about entering.
Thats great! I hope that this can mean a breakthrough for somebody, if not at least a lot of good experience : ) Good luck!
Thanks for the link and stopping by.

Though I do not think people should sell themselves for the small prize money, compared to what they would normally pay for a real ad.
