Yes, to get you in the mood for video making this weekend, here's another entry for our Hopes And Fears video contest, from Karla S in Monterrey, Mexico. We've seen a few animated videos made using The Sims in our time, but this one really impressed for its direction and narrative. Good job Karla.
By the way, we've had a few videos submitted which are really good, but use copyrighted material (usually other people's photographs). Unfortuantely, we can't allow those videos for the competition, as they infringe a third party's rights. So please make sure everything in your videos is your own, original work.
Don't forget, we're looking for you videos for:
- Bend And Break
- We Might As Well Be Strangers
- Your Eyes Open
- She Has No Time
- Can't Stop Now
- Sunshine
- Untitled 1
- Snowed Under
You have until November 9th to make your video. When you have, please upload it to Vimeo or YouTube and send the link to videos@keanemusic.com. Only one video per person, please.
One winner will be picked for each of the eight songs. We will then select one overall winner who will win a deluxe Hopes And Fears bundle featuring a double CD, a T-shirt and a limited edition signed poster. The seven other song winners will each receive a signed copy of the Hopes And Fears Deluxe Edition double CD.
Thanks to everyone who's entered videos so far. We're really impressed with the standard (as are the band, who've been checking them out too).

This is simply amazing! You used the perfect scenes and angles for the song! Incredible job!
A-maz-ing!! Really well-thought, I love the Sims-made Keane, especially the Hopes and Fears logo on the drum, and "The motion keeps my heart running..." part of the video. Really well-made, I loved it:)) Good luck, Karla:D Lots of love from Moshie xxx
Wow that's awesome!
My nieces used to love the Sims when they were 12 and 14 years old. But they do not any more now that they have grown up.
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD
Seriously impressive work! How did you do that by using the game?? WOW!!
Hi again everyone! I can't thank you enough for your time and comments about mi vid, it really means a lot :D @majitos, este vídeo fue creado específicamente para el concurso, puede ser que hayas visto mi otro vídeo con Siims, es el de la canción BBH, también de Keane :D, está en los vídeos relacionados. @sonylang, Puede ser el mismo caso, Mis amigos me apoyaron postéandolo en sus páginas de facebook, probablemente lo hayas visto por ahí... y sí, Viva KEANE y viva MONTERREY :D! XX
te juro que me parece ya haberlo visto antes del concurso, puede ser??????????????
Muy lindo Karla!!! :D Me encantó! Y me encantó ver a los chicos en version Sim jajaja
It's so great!!!!!
Ninety nine percent of my life I've been lied to. I just found out TTR wear more eye make-up than I do.
I love it! What a great job! Really good camera angles and interpretation of the song using the camera movements, etc. Great to see all the thought and details that went into it. This is my favourite so far.
I love keane and I love the sims...it's so great
obvioooo, tenias que ser de MOnterrey Karla !! quedooo fregonsiisiimoo me encanto el videoo, no se si estoi bien pero ya lo habias puesto en un facebook??? por que creo que ya lo habia visto antes.. great job!

Enhorabuena Karla, es fantástico!!!! me encanta tu video, además es que es una de mis canciones preferidas..... se nota que te lo has currado. Todo mi apoyo para tu video desde España.
Buen video!!! este es uno de los que más me ha gustado. Mucha Suerte!!! :D
Complimenti Karla , hai realizzato un buon video, molto creativo e fantasioso , mi è piaciuto tanto , sei stata originale , brava ! Un salutone da Sabrina v. from Catania !
The video is good, but I'm not a big fan of The Sims, I prefer videos that show the rela world. For me, videos that are made using Sims make the characters look a little unnatural. But the theme of the video is great. Congratulations Karla
well done!!!! great video!!!!
....you know where to turn to when you need a friend...God bless you...
Excellent!
Karla! That was fantastic! I have been a huge Sim fan for over 9 years now and am thinking about doing a video with Sims3 for this! Yours was fantastic! WTG!
holy moly thats good!! love it. and i have to say ,the best one so far...
... life is ephemeral ... and so it goes ...may there be love and light..much peace to you...
this is my favorite video !!! i liked how they look like tom, tim and richard!! great job and good Luck!!! :)
WoO hoO Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
muy bien.... excelente de monterrey! del cerro de la silla, la macro, valle oriente jaja de donde eres? yo tambien vivo ahi!
Well I guess this is a nice job, but sorry... I don't feel the song on this video.
Cool !!!... Very well done and even in least details, like for instance the girl's gestures that are just perfect before the mirror !... Congrats Karla, I've already seen the vid you've done for BBH and I loved it ! But this one truly is awesome too !... Tim, supporting evidence as your songs speak about Love, fit so well to Love and that until now through these vids, ♥Love is the magic word♥... Sweet Dreams, G'Night & Good Weekend !
HELOISA, ISA FROM SAO PAULO, BRASIL *** I AM A BIT FRUSTRATED since I am having no time to watch the two new videos, so, I hope I can watch them in not hurry this weekend. LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND AND A WARM HUG TO YOU ALL, HAVE A NICE WEEKEND! XXXXXXX
Merci Rachel, c'est gentil! Je te souhaite aussi une excellente fin de semaine. Porte toi bien, à bientôt, je t'embrasse.
Great video! Good luck Karla! ;)
wow karla great video !!! t kedo genial las mexicanas rockeamos jaja LOVE YA GUYS FORM KEANE!
Congratulations to Karla Solalinde who has done a great job with the song and the video!
@Johanna: Yes, I am. That was my first experience at sims video making :). @Denislavia: For me, the children represent pure energy, so that's why they're in the sequence "the motion keeps my heart running." The end is opened for interpretation ;)
Great video, Karla! You are also the one who made a video for Black Burning Heart, right?
Omg I didn´t recognize my - or our sweet Tommy, nor Tim, maybe a bit I did Richard / only by beard/.I´m a little confused I don´t understand whose are these children, the end of vid as well. Anyway good job, outstanding! And I must say - Music is the best thing ever, it never ceases to amaze me.... all best to you , with much gratitude, je t´adore sans cesse...
Wow Karla!!! That´s really great!! I love it♥ KEANE!!!!!! xD

This video is definitely the best one yet. That last part was particularly impressive; it's precisely what I think the video should be like!

Such a fantastic job Karla! You are SO talented with the Sims videos WOW!! :) :) Congrats!!! :D :D
Nice, but I prefer Pedro´s version, the ending is so kitschy.
El mejor hasta ahora... No creen que seria bueno que lo hicieran ellos personalmente?

Felicidades karla!! Mexico presente en este concurso =) yay! I really liked it, by far this is the best video I've seen this week, Best of luck to you :) Please come back to Mexico soon!!!!!!!!
Wow..!° jee I like it.!
Good effort, but if you are going to do an animation of the band performing the song, you have to make the mouth movements sync with the song, and unfortuantly this doesnt, which for me makes it look like its a video to a different song. Love the song though. 1.5/5
BRILLIANT xxxxxxxxxxxx
KARLA YOUR WORK IS THE BEST, I LOVE IT. I ALREADY HAD SEEN THIS IN THE FORUMS love from México..
Karla's video is the best! Congrats Karla!!! :D
It's really great... CONGRATS The end of the video is the best ^^
This is soooooooooooooo cool !!! The guys look so cute as Sims characters ! Well done Karla !! Classy !
uuuuuuooooooooralesss!! EL MAS INTERESANTE HASTA AHORA!! SUERTE!!
Now here's a classy video if you like, this girl has real talent! I particularly liked the playground sequence at the end, and the hands framing the end shot!
I think it's my fav! Good job!
This is my favorite entry so far. Good luck Karla!!
