The announcement of the results for the Video Wars competition was put back a week so that Adam and Joe could swan off to Leicester to do a show from the Summer Sundae festival, so I won’t find out how my video did until the 16th August.

In the meantime, I’ve put up a proper page for the film with higher quality downloadable versions of the video here and some juicy behind-the-scenes nuggets here. If you follow my Youtube stuff, you’ll have seen most of it already but there’s a nice new wallpaper available there. For certain less well-known definitions of the word “nice”.

Another year, another competition.

This is my entry for Adam & Joe’s Video Wars competition. They do the Saturday morning radio show on BBC 6 Music and one of the more popular features on the show (out of a grand total of two) is Song Wars, where Adam and Joe create a song each based on a theme suggested by a listener. Other listeners then vote for the best song, and then Joe wins.

In a spirit of openness and inclusiveness, the boys launched the Video Wars competition to allow listeners to battle it out amongst themselves by creating a music video for one of two Song Wars songs. I chose Adam’s song, Jane’s Brain because it was shorter and it was the first one I came up with an idea for. The idea, like pretty much everyone else who entered with that song, was to interpret the lyrics literally.

This is my entry: Jane’s Brain

It’s only thirty seconds long, so it doesn’t outstay its welcome.

Adam has a ton of stuff on youtube as well. You can watch that as well, if you like.
