Radiohead semi-finalist - Wish Away the Nightmare by Ryan M. Strasser

[MemoryOfTheRose]

after you watch this video, dont ever say you have a hard life. and this one should of one it. love radiohead they are phenomenal.

[NoSurprisesPlease0]

haha 1:08 pass the 40

[Pandersmack]

Damn, that poorly drawn chick beat the shit out of that sea lamprey.... and her dad!

[L4L01]

No entendi... el agujero la llevo a futuro, donde el chico era el gordo y ella se convertia en vieja y prostituta?

[Pandersmack]

I'm sick of the poorly drawn style. Plus the story was lame and didn't involve the actual lyrics of the song.

[LukeInside]

@Pandersmack It involved - the general threat of wishing away the nightmare for example..

[altamashurooj]

I love it but its too similar to paranoid android's brilliant video in terms of visuals. Great themes explored though and would have loved to see it animated to match the music's frantic 155 bpm !

[doggymcdog]

how is the winning video better than this masterpiece

[LiveForFunny]

Okay, out of all the finalist videos I have seen 15 step was the LEAST symbolic, and just silly compared to these. Just because the animation was amazing doesn't mean it deserved to win.

[claudiofullxd]

debió ganar :l

[No1Significant1]

Quinnie....

[vlMaga]

Dont you fall in the hole.

[BedlamCarnival]

I'll probably be called a faggot for this? But what others think of me is unimportant... I enjoy this music video because it mirrored what Me and xxxAmandaCrimsonxxx had. Ironically, we -are- living out this music video.

It's a shame. She doesn't know how much I truly love her. Nor will she ever.

[kap66]

Love this video, and fits so well with the song. I had a girlfriend once that was being abused by her Dad, I was 16 and she wouldn't tell me what was going on.....She jumped in front of a truck to take her pain away. This song/video reminds me of the monsters that are still out there.

[Iknowisuuck]

wish you away the nightmare? u serious??

this track is JIGSAW FALLING INTO PLACE! wtf

[Vincentskater1]

When I saw this video for the 1st time, I thought it was gay for the first 5 secs.I thought:

Its a classic, love video, thats probely why it was a semi-finalist

Then, I saw her run away and I was like,haha lol pwned

Then I saw her FALL IN A RANDOM PIT and I was like ha.Shes going to be saved by the guy

THEN SHE FALLS and I was like oh no! D:

Then she lands on a couch and I thought that was corny -.-

THEN SHE HAS AN ABUSIVE DAD AND I WAS HOOKED.I loved the video.Had 2 clean up my jizz tho:(

[mafrecas3]

OMG aquilo é uma Myxine?! xDD

[lilymarlenster]

this is slow slow slow slow sloooooooooooooooow motion :/

[betoxicogrim]

@lilymarlenster see the one in aniBOOM

[lilymarlenster]

@betoxicogrim o yeah, much better

[scoaster666]

i know that giirl!

[lennic95]

Isn't there another name for this song?

[jldkrank]

@lennic95 "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" I do believe.

[lennic95]

@jldkrank Yeah that's it! Thank you :)

[Vincentskater1]

OMG. I understand the video. At the end, the person looking at the man is the girls daughter, and he is the father, and the girl who was abused is the mother. The guy is holding a sibby cup, so the daughter must be a baby. Wow, amazing video. Amazing song too! I love heavy metal and shit, but I love Radiohead, and they are not even close to heavy metal. Theyre songs are meaningful and beautiful and I love them!

[lalalaxoxo18]

@Vincentskater1 l think she fell into the future like the other people said

[Rociomedina1984]

Nadie como Radiohead

[bones22j]

So it was her boyfriend the whole time who was sending her out to be a stripper?

[BartSmith85]

wow this is awesome!!!

[Belphu5]

LOL INDEED @ Fat Hitler!

[InvertedBomber]

This animation was great.... i should have been finished.

[lookingatcrap]

this reminds me of the  accused for some reason

[zazakadabra]

Hi...is this the official video? If not who make this video? And what does semi finalist means?

May someone answer please?

Love Radiohead

Thanks

[binnachle86]

@zazakadabra I don't know who made it, but the aniboom contest was radiohead asking fans to make videos from in rainbow songs. Here's one of the semi-finalists

[zazakadabra]

@binnachle86 very very nice videos. empathics. thanks!

[gabbonoo]

i like the less abstract videos i can understand right away and still enjoy ü

making something really abstract doesnt take alot of skill, it jsut takes the right person and circumstances, like remembering a dream

[boskinator]

the dad has Hitleresque hair

[KeyboardPacifist]

@boskinator It's not a dad. It's the boy .. and what he becomes.

[aaccmmcc]

great!!

[Jbar300]

I feel that the video gets the song very clearly

In the beginning the girl was happy but it turns out that the boy was just using her,

in 2:25 she refuses to become what they want her to become but she decides to become the leader of herself and leaves that all behind.

[NmHman127Nugget]

come on and let it ouutt  this is clearly about the death of innocence and libidos illusive tolerance.

[jfe95]

very good vid

[akatsukiandy]

isnt this song called, jigsaw falling into place?

[Tripotorifis]

Yes.

[griffin7564]

wow really good

[rdhdbrrc]

I dont think that this song goes about the video

[DashboardDoll]

Such a sad video but very well done

[5Esau2]

THE SAD REALITY!!!!

ABAUT A POOR GIRL.

[MrbertjeS]

It looks like paranoid Android to me too ^^ Mostly because of the gory fat guy. :) Great work.

[krallstello]

wow this is really creepy, well-done, and goes with the song...I like most Radiohead music videos, but I actually think the songs are better without them.

[Littlegh0st]

Great stuff, but I can't tell how much of the choppiness is the intentional animation and how much is my computer. XD

[difficultbastard]

0:44 This is sandwich!

[Welker95]

wait this is jigsaws falling into place does it have another name

[thetinymoo]

@Welker95 No, you're correct. I think the movie is called, "Wish away the Nightmare"

[Aminadb]

Very Good, it looks like very "paranoid android"

[pogogo51]

): That is what I say ":( ):"

[wzaesxpmjiokp]

is it awful if i dont completley understand this?

[joooood233]

no but ill explain.

ahem. First, girl is happy with boy, girl falls down hole which is the symbol for the scum life. she live the scum life and then breaks free from it, then she goes back to the place where it all started, the hole temps her to jump back in but she denies it, and runs back to her boy in the good life. the end. or thats how i interpret it.

[ChristmasCarolyn]

Oh, thanks for the explanation. Was really lost there...

[joooood233]

no problem always glad to help

[b1ind00]

also i think the end is a little twist for i think the boy is the fat drunk guy when hes grown up

is inevitable the girl is going to end up with a fat guy that is going to use her and abuse her

[Caleeboy123]

it's alright, pretty much no one understands radiohead videos.

[Yieri]

They are generally kept too cryptic to decipher to a certainty.

[WamjamJeff]

the song is awesome but i didnt really like the video. And I dont like the crappy anime video for 15 step

[pogogo51]

Good.

[dancebaybe22]

omg this was so good! i loved it great job

[blakta2]

THIS ROCKS. EXCELLENT.

[shire10]

i absolutly love this

well done and keep it up

[bluxx123]

booooo

[seanUnknown011000101]

nevermind

[laryx211]

It's on the album 'In Rainbows'.

[Sadhbhishness]

I liked it kind of, but twas a bit too stop-start.. Perhaps a bit more time spent on it would've given it a nicer flow, the song itself is very smooth.. Know what I mean?

It's definitely cool though.

Scary.

[ShiftReality]

Didn't like  it

[h2opoloattacker]

She fell into the future. Her experience allowed her to escape what would have been. The young man in the beginning becomes the creepy pervert. You see this at the end of the video.... great work!

[llamaboyskip]

GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALLTIME!!!!!

[Pwnscarx]

@llamaboyskip Radiohead have personally expressed their contempt for any and all "rock bands".

[jirdimaster]

@llamaboyskip They're not a rock band, how many times has Thom Yorke said they don't want to be a rock band and are not a rock band?

[olivecrazymonkey123]

@llamaboyskip so true!!!

[hubcity71]

lonely genius...

[yogurtpots]

kind of slow lol

[thomaszbg]

jigsaw falling into place genius!

[haty24]

Whats this about? some Old guy trying to fufill his sick needs?

[anonymous564]

i dony understand

could somebody please tell me wtf is going on in this story haha

[Idontknowwhat2type]

The story was about her dreams being what she always wanted but her life is a nightmare so she wishes she would have lived life differently.

[zorro7500]

lol use your imagination a bit more!

[kneelio321]

that was awesome.

[thomaszbg]

Message in the video goes great with the song... I love the the beginning, middle, and the end... Exellent work!

[lepetitdoodler]

fantastic work.

[andreshead]

COOL VIDEO!

[aziff2say2]

that was scary :S

[loufromlou]

god this is corny and pretentious. i could think of some better fucking nightmares than that. boring. not trying to be negative but man...

[regingsha]

Jigsaws falling into place

[OldiexOldie1134]

this made me sad. it reminds me of my own nightmares. :(

[cindypoopoo]

good ass song but it reminds me of sublime's date rape for some reason..lol

[phuongpwnz]

rapist?

[BmxEmoWolf]

that was depressing.....

T____T

[Daviock666]

LOL! Fat hitler...

[wolfftrevor]

that was great

[fire904]

this reminds me too much of Incubus's Dig video

[HAL0INREVERSE]

@fire904 That's exactly what I thought! The style is similar.

I don't really understand all of the story, but I still wish the video would've been finished. I like the clip on the aniBOOM website.

[KeyboardPacifist]

@HAL0INREVERSE *hint* Pause it at 4:08. Then go back and pause it at 0:41 sec. exactly. The story uses her actions (embracing, running, falling, drugged, paraded, abused, fighting back, running again, escaping, looking into the abyss, and submitting) .. to tell her story. But I hopefully you look up those pt.s in the video that I mentioned.. and it should be pretty clear.

[HAL0INREVERSE]

@KeyboardPacifist I watched the video on the aniBOOM site, and it actually made more sense that time around. I'm still going to try what you said to do, though. :p

[BonnieMint]

Eww. FAT PEOPLE.

[sharil601]

how can i get this version of the song in mp3 format?help anyone?

[kamochachii]

emule

[shortkeys26]

Name of the song is "Jigsaw Falling into Place" by Radiohead.

[stoo1sample]

Buy it.

[jakenfriedlove]

trhe first half reminds me of daterape by sublime a lot

[mb8ing]

Damn.

[blankdrummer450]

holy shit creepy good job

[theFunniEmo69]

love it man this remembers me that its good to be yourself .... i dont know why XD

[playerthe2nd]

the end was a bit of an anti-climax

[osirusxxe]

beautiful AND SAD

[pyro98711]

shwat

[ThomYorke4815162342]

Sorry, but this doesn't cut it. Cool animation and "feel", but the "plot" and themes are simple and fall flat. God I love this song though! You certainly got the tone right, you just need a better story.

[BoojumMXX]

I absolutely agree that it was cool, but as for me the plot and especially the last seconds were very unpredictable and thought-provoking. So I can't say it is "simple and flat'. The only question I had from the very beginning was "so where is the young Romeo, is he gonna call for help" and the end gave me the answer. Liked it very much!

[YiggityYins]

This is pretty lame, all the clips are pretty lame and very obvious. I don't really get why anyone can't make a deep animation, Radiohead's music is deep why does the animation have to be some stupid story. Make it interesting, make us think, make it relate to everyone but in different ways.  This does none of those.

[KeyboardPacifist]

@YiggityYins This was deep. You missed the whole vibe of it.

[simplelife88393]

That was great, the best one yet... 5*

[SneakyxLlama]

that was amazing! Can't wait to see the final product if you ever finish it.

[Majortom71]

it resembles paranoid android a bit too much, and the animation seems like a slide show.

Good effort though.

[mortproductions]

I'm pretty sure the animation's not finished, I think the finished product will be great.

[XNEWTXNEWTX]

awsomenesss

[itssoflippinsurreal]

good,

but i don't get the end, i mean, did she go into the future?

[AgentAragorn]

thats great

[TmanV717]

Like the music but animation was wierd

[blackkidh]

loved it, some parts coulda used some more frames but it was good

[ttlyunique]

I loved it!

I think it's about how she loved this one guy, but then somebody kidnapped her and made her a prostitute or sex slave against her will, but she escaped and was with her true love again!!

Yay! Happy ending!

[XNEWTXNEWTX]

nah i think she went to the future the guy who was pimpin her looked just like the guy she was about to kiss

[KeyboardPacifist]

@XNEWTXNEWTX ding ding ding, we have a winner ! lol this video is craaazy. It should have won.

[KeyboardPacifist]

@ttlyunique sigh.. if only that were true.

[idanceballet2day]

a little difficult to understand

[casanova1135]

ok that was kinda weird but....interesting =] good job

[bagwhanbill]

goodluck

[fenelonsucombe]

Bien joué !

Une bonne animation simpliste mais qui nous prend rapidement ;)

[Ginteru]

Disturbing, but cool

[korabeca]

nice

[aisssh]

Good animation. Kinda disturbing theme though. I gave it a 5 anyway.

[FlyingDad]

I agree. It's a great video, but the theme was something I would never come up with.

[dangerx0x]

cool
