ANNOUNCING THE ERASE VIDEO CONTEST WINNERS
From all the many great submissions Black Francis has selected three big $1000 winners.

In no order, Black Francis (aka Frank Black) explains his picks:

I had a wonderful time judging all of the submissions for the TMBG video contest! Dare I say, everyone

was a winner? But, alas, the TMBG office has given the parameter of three (3) winners to be chosen

and here they are. I admit I watched the videos with my sons Jack and Jude, but they in no way had any influence on the choice of winners.
 
 
JORDAN WIPPELL
This vid has so much impact simply for the use of dance and choreography. Classic never goes out of style;

neither does restraint.  Clearly the dancers know what they are doing but are not asked to do
​back flips or any other tricks.  I felt their prowess, yet, chuckled aloud and
moved-head-to-beat, relaxed and entertained.  Well done, Jordan.  Other elements in vid also parfait.

PAUL GUYET AND CHRISTINA BRYANT
I loved the actors in this vid! It’s not easy to act in a music video, I mean, right?

Who has been a good actor in a music video? I mean, almost nobody! Paul and Christina
should finish off that screenplay and I will be the casting director: the actors in this vid, please!
And the online dating premise is either a premise the viewer can relate to, or,
er, can have that sick curiosity for! Not sure which category I fit into but I love those animated hearts with legs and such, too.

VICTOR FITZSIMONS
Mr. Fitzsimons black-line animation is apparently his first animation project of "significant length" well,

hooray, Fitzy! This was excellent! A simple black line was good enough for Picasso, and it is more
than good enough here for this TMBG vid. Animation can at times be exhausting, overwhelming,
ANNOYING. But I left my viewing of this piece feeling energized and excited about art.
The "wobbly, blobby" faux ball-point look is satisfying and takes us all back to those

many doodle pad moments of our own lives.
