All ten of the semi-finalists will receive $1,000 to construct a minute-long animation. Seven of In Rainbows' tens tracks are represented this round. Among the finalists are Anthony Catania's storyboarding of Zoo soundtracked by "Nude," Hideyuki Kota's anime-inspired clip for "15 Step" and Clement Picon's video for "Reckoner" which draws upon Radiohead's "Xendless Xuburbia" motif (embedded above.)

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
