17 November 2009

Hey folks, we've decided to announce the winner for each song from the Hopes And Fears contest, before finally announcing the overall, grand prize winner.

We begin with She Has No Time, which was judged by Tom.

WINNER

Muhammad Abiyoso from Indonesia (video above)
Tom: This, for me, was the clear winner. I love animation, especially when it's done as well as this! The simplicity of the images and the timing of the edit was absolutely perfect for the song, not just capturing the essence of the song, but lending it a new emotional quality. The ending took me by surprise but it's cool to see the song interpreted in a different way. Very, very well done!!


RUNNERS-UP

Marieke van der Veen from the Netherlands
Tom: Really strong, simple idea which I thought brought the song into a real, everyday context. Very striking in black and white, nicely shot and edited


César Alvarado from Guatemala
Tom: I always enjoy videos with a story. Loved the masks. Very ambitious but I thought you pulled it off well!


Beatriz Caetano from Switzerland
Tom: This was a very strong contender. Thought the abstracted shots and changing scenes brought a really interesting emotional dimension to the song. The shot of the dancer outside seemed particularly powerful. I also enjoyed the contrast of black and white against colour, especially the points at which it came in the song!


ALL THE OTHER ENTRIES (BECAUSE YOU ALL DESERVE SOME CREDIT!)

(In order of entry date)

Kualla from Ukraine

Edwin Stevens from the Netherlands

Jacqueline Flareau from New York

Kelly from Canada

Grace Bentley-Leek

Oh, I loved this one! Wonderful job! I love how you took a fairly ambiguous song and created a story to go along with it. Congratulations! (Also, go Nathan! Utah buddies! :D I loved your transition with the apple.)

Congratulations Muhammad.

Posted by aboutthecase on 2009-11-18 20:49:44

A.B. - yes, I agree with you, but for me is very handsom also Thom York!

Posted by Denislavia on 2009-11-18 20:48:16

I like very much video - "A movie by KELLY GRENIER". I t is unfortunately very truthful and well known I guess not only to me / when I was a child and adult/. Yes, it is very sad when mother or parents don´t know their own children, because they don´t have a time for them!! beause of this fast, agressive and hard life... You are my winner, Kelly!!! Thank you so much! Wish you much love and joy, blessings....

Posted by Denislavia on 2009-11-18 20:42:00

My great pleasure Abi :).

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-11-18 18:50:51

Many congratulations for winning with a great video, Abi! @emanuelngm: the video you mentioned IS posted. It's the 6th one from the bottom.

Posted by finshi on 2009-11-18 18:02:00

I knew that Muhammad would win! I loved the vid from the very first moment i watched it. Congratulations to you and to the others who had the guts to make and send a vid. Cheerio!!

Posted by CandyAmelie on 2009-11-18 16:49:17

Absolutely great! Very well done! Congratulations! Thanks!

Posted by 22ivj04 on 2009-11-18 15:37:23

congratulations to Muhammad and of course to Marieke (goed gedaan!). I like the artwork in the video of Grace Bentley-Leek too, by the way. It fits H&F perfectly.

Posted by ingeborg on 2009-11-18 12:04:22

Hey guys!! Beautiful video, I loved it :D Congrats, Muhammad!! HUGE HUGS FROM CHILE :)

Posted by Dra_House on 2009-11-18 10:49:50

KEANE, Thanks to pay attention with so much interest to your creative fans !... Tom's comments are very appreciated and of course, I'm too particularly moved by Marieke's vid... I liked it right away because first, she forgets to take off the cap as well as I would have done, that's for sure !... As much I didn't like the lip sync in Pedro's vid «Can't Stop Now» (although the vid itself was awesome !), I love it here !... It's the gist of the vid and even though it's not a particularly new storyline, it's so well done that I watched it again, early this morning !... Thanks too for showing a few faces that are not so perfect... But yet I notice that there is no face of mature woman, directly showed !... I think it's ever more easy for men to cope with that and to show oneself... Anyhow, it's something I really can't bear personaly ! Actually I think so that people from the Netherlands are kinda cool, generally speaking !... By the way, I felt a twinge of sadness at the bear's suicide... Plus, the other drawings are simply amazing too (especially those from Nicole and Grace) !... Tim→it's a gorgeous song, U know !!!

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) on 2009-11-18 10:04:41

CONGRATS MUHAMMED! I'd like to share another vid of she has no time, it wasnt posted and it's an EXCELENT work. from davidlinacre (forum nick) http://www.vimeo.com/7504067 cant wait to look the we might as well be strangers results! good luck everyone!

Posted by emanuelngm on 2009-11-18 08:41:36

Oh well. At least the runners up get some recognition. Are the runners up the ones which were shortlisted by B&C and watched by Tom? And the rest? Did he watch them too?

Posted by SkyShowers on 2009-11-18 08:20:05

Todos los videos son increibles, ya sea que hayan ganado o no, el solo hecho de hacerlos cuenta y mas con la fabulosa cancion de She has no time esa cancion me ha hecho llorar muchas veces, es de una belleza increible! Como todo el disco de Hopes & Fears! Los amo KEANE!!!! Vaio.

@Maayani: Thanks! Well that's just the thing.. I've been moaning and complaining about the band's videos for forever, so I just had to do something and walk the talk, you know? ;)

Posted by locust on 2009-11-17 21:58:40

congratulations!! I liked this video too! bravo!!!!

Posted by niceve on 2009-11-17 21:49:23

Congrats Abi, your thoughts, feelings, emotions, are in balance.Perfect video!! Thank you very much Tom xxx

Posted by RACHEL-RIO-BRAZIL on 2009-11-17 21:48:47

Marieke, loved yours, too. I thought about doing something like this once, after seeing R.E.M.'s "Man on the Moon" vid. But that's the difference - i thought about it, and you did it! Congratulations, dank U wel.

Posted by Maayani on 2009-11-17 21:47:17

I'm so glad for you Abi! Congratulations! Your video indeed adds a new emotional dimension to the song. And the 55 s of black screen at the end are not meaningless as far as I'm concerned, like curtains drawn, pause for reflection...

Posted by Mihajasoa on 2009-11-17 21:10:35

hey!!!! congrats it´s really well done♥

Posted by Julia B. on 2009-11-17 21:00:39

Abi, Abi, I´m so happy for you! I am so glad Tom saw it as I did - your video is something very, very special! And I do hope he will perform this awesome song live again, and we will be able to be there to hear it!

Posted by Gudrun (Austria) on 2009-11-17 20:23:05

I think this vieo is great!! Only the ending could be better as the animations end to soon. Overall a brilliant video

Posted by MazzSn on 2009-11-17 19:11:27

Tom, I agree with you!!! To me, that´s the best She has no time video! Congratulations, Muhammad!!!

Posted by simoninha (brazil) on 2009-11-17 19:08:16

I really loved Beatriz Caetano from Switzerland's masterpiece as it kept my interest all the way through the song. What an amazing dancer! I really thought it complemented such a beautiful track. Sorry Tom!

Posted by andreaedwards30 on 2009-11-17 18:47:04

all the vids are amazing! but, I agree with you Tom, good choice! anyways, you all are winners! ;) ...cheers.

Posted by yessicachaplin23 on 2009-11-17 18:32:32

Well done to everyone who entered, wish I was computer savvy enough to make these vids! Muhammad, I love the interpretation. It was really cleverly done! Congrats x

Posted by keanemjfan01 on 2009-11-17 18:29:44

Every day -" in you I´m lost", and my twisted words are unnecessary, every day , every minute, every seconde I have time for you , only you ...... Anyway the song is divine and Tom´s choice is correct. Today we celebrate 20 th anniversary of so called - " velvet revolution" / the meaning of these two words is antithetic/ and that´s why we had a holiday. The slogan of this revolution was " The Freedom, Love and Truth Win against the Lie and the Hatred" . Yeah, right!!!! .../ it is very complicated/ There are many television documentary about this sad era before 89 and there take place many concerts of " underground"/ till 1989/ bands and singers in the squares of towns., Best always, much love and peace " You don´t have a Soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."/lewis/But in my opinion through our bodies we can totally connect our souls.

Wonderful song and video! Congrats! :-)

I agree with Hopes.Even if the video winner is vey good, why this blank???...I know it's really hard do a 5 minutes long video but the others did!! But congratulations to evebody!Good Work!!!

Posted by stephsteph on 2009-11-17 16:09:24

The winner's video was silly cos for the last 55 secs there was nothing there? You'd have thought with the imagination of the person who made it could have at least filled it right to the end almost.

Posted by Hopes on 2009-11-17 16:01:24

From the moment I watched the video for She Has No Time by Muhammad, I had a very strong feeling that it would be the winner, although the other videos are also quite competitive and clever. Well done, Muhammad, I'm very happy that you've won:)) Lots of love from Moshie xxx

Posted by Keaniemoshie on 2009-11-17 15:47:00

Muhammad, OMG, Tom watched all those vids - all cool - and picked yours! If that isn't the Internet bringing us all closer together, I don't know what is!! I am so excited for you and I didn't even enter a vid in the contest! Well done Muhammad, well done everyone!!

Posted by Maayani on 2009-11-17 15:37:31

Congrats Muhammad, I think I've commented on this video when it was first put up on km.com, saying I liked it! Great minds...

Jipie! The first winner is here!!! And a mighty fine video too! Like Tom, I quite enjoy an animated video but then that could be because I'm an a-ha fan too! ;-) Well done to Muhammad!!

congratulations!!! your video was one of my favourites :D well done!!

Posted by masak on 2009-11-17 14:09:32

Hi, I just watched few of them but I have no more time now... I'll do it later for all the others because that's so amazing... All these people have been amazing, actually !... Somewhere only I knew (and sorry to contort the title of song of the decade...let's hope !) that this one too could be a winner !!!... Congrats, well deserved... Muhammad, you've got an incredible line drawing !... THANKS TO EVERYONE.
