From the 30-second videos, And.Ypsilon, Michi Beck, Smudo and Thomas D personally selected the 20 best entries. After that, the directors had to complete the video in just 4 weeks and enter the history of Fantastischen Vier with the final film. Because all top 20 videos will be shown on the video compilation/DVD “20 Years – Die Fantastischen Vier,” which will be released in 2009, as well as on the Fantastischen Vier homepage.
The new official music video can now be viewed exclusively online on MyVideo.de at http://www.myvideo.de/watch/2692480. The director of the winning clip, Sascha Kämpf (pixelbar.ch) from Switzerland, has taken a significant step forward in his film- career through this unique opportunity and, in addition to glamour and honor, receives 44,444 euros provided by Vodafone, the official partner of the “Fornika für alle” Tour 2007.
Anyone who, as a MyVideo user, wanted to support their personal favorite among the top 20 videos could take part in an additional SMS vote by mobile phone as part of the Vodafone Fan Prize. Philip Mohila, the director of the video that received the most votes by SMS, receives the Vodafone Fan Prize, a trip for two people to the 15th Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film ’08.
