Have you been following the In Rainbows Music Video Contest? It's quite possibly one of the most inventive things I've seen in terms of musician-fan interaction. Instead of maybe just asking their fans to make them videos, this contest is going through the process of rough storyboards, voting, funding of sample animation for the top ten, and then a final round. It's basically emulating the process that goes on in an animation studio, but on the internet and in masses.

It's just in phase one right now, and if you haven't heard about it from other animation/music circuits, there's some neat (and not so neat) stuff:

I feel pretty enthused about it especially since I have storyboards in the contest, and it can get lost in the sea of entries, so allow me to try and get your attention: it's got a girl in it, hallucination and some mental freak-outs:

I sort of feel like this is another step in the direction of user-created media broadcasted via the internet that's changing the way entertainment is made and seen. How do you guys feel about this?
