11 February 2010

We're extremely pleased to announce that Elmira Temirgaliyeva from Kazakhstan - the Keane fan who won our recent Hopes And Fears video contest - has been commissioned by Island Records to make a video for one of the tracks from Keane's new EP, Night Train.

Elmira will be making a video for live favourite My Shadow. We can't wait to see it (and show it to you folks).

Night Train will be released on CD and download on May 10 - and you can pre-order a special numbered edition of the EP through the Keane Store right now by clicking here.

Here's Elmira's contest-winning video for Untitled #1...

Yes well done. .I was going back in time with another band from the 80s can you gess who or song welcome to your life theres no turning back even while we sleep we will find you acting on your best behaviour turn your back on mother nature.Anyway on you tube 1985 live in california singing change advice for young at heart great songs .Then to find them on night on the proms 2007 belgium wow wish i was there.But they have not aged that mutch.Please come to uk one day soon thank them for the music too.But keane it would be good if my 12 year old just like me and found you still going strong and still capture that same magic if you know what i mean how music can take you back.Good luck with the new album my son still plays your music daily.He loves it.

Congrates Elmira, though just a suggestion I think it'd be cool if you used silhouettes of the band in this music video etc

Posted by clo187 on 2010-02-18 11:37:39

Oh what an honour! I'll send you all my creative vibes for making this video. Keane makes dreams come true XD

Posted by Atlanic-keane on 2010-02-18 02:02:47

Ooh no! that bad! but good keane, everybody knows that Keane is a truly majestic album and stupid award goes to see whether or not the best album in 30 years, because hopes and fears was is and will be the best album of keane and my much better than oasis , plus have 2 boys and they would serve jaaj to another? you know who are the best! throw the match once a haven or whoever jajaja, good boys this year could not be but I'm sure they're going to BACK TO WIN BECAUSE SOME ARE WINNERS! good guys in my soul! I love a lot and now await the May 10th! well the last thing I will say that back to Argentina! Jime kisses *

:-( A slight deception, of course ! But lots of love and support because H&F is f****** awesome anyway !... I've just watched the previous vids of the BRITs 2005 and Jo WHILEY really was in heaven when she gave you the prize... Lots of beautiful souvenirs ! You have the whole life in front of you to get other Awards... Though this one had a special overtone as it was relating to a first album and what a wonderful album ;-) !!!

Posted by Syrinx on 2010-02-15 17:07:13

@Constantine, GREAT IDEA!! I think we should Elmira do her thing, but then maybe post other works thru a forum? I actually have a very clear story-board for a video for MS in my mind, sadly I have no cinema talent nor patience... :)

Posted by Maayani on 2010-02-15 04:09:31

Oh God! Congratulations Elmira! you`re going to make a video for your favourite band (again ;) but this time it´s so much bigger.. you are so damn lucky haha I`m joking.. I imagine you must be very very excited..We expect a great video, hugs from Argentina

Posted by Noelia on 2010-02-14 16:36:06

Excuse me, Elmira. I typed Elvira in the 1st post, by accident.

Posted by Left Coast on 2010-02-14 08:27:32

Do you need an agent, Elvira? Frankiie may have been a bit off the mark by suggesting a shooting budget of 1.2 million dollars (US dollars, I guess.) That could be an opening bid.

Posted by Left Coast on 2010-02-14 07:36:00

Elmira - I hope you get paid for your work, but not by being given a signed copy of Night Train. Cash, Elmira, cash. Hard numbers. A percentage of the sales may not be enough, hon.

wooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww omg lucky talented fan!!!! congrats!!!

Congratulations Elmira!!!...Hug from Fortaleza/ Brazil.

Posted by Marília on 2010-02-12 17:30:05

Why My Shadow? Why not Ishin Denshin from the upcoming EP? Experimental songs need experimental videos. My Shadow is special and needs a very special video( if any). Maybe your assumption is that nobody else can do justice to this underestimated pearl from the PS era, but a fan. If that's the case, then it's sweet of you. Good luck, Elmira. You're going to need it.

Posted by NellyEdith on 2010-02-11 22:43:51

Huge reward, Elmira !... Actually, I had a hunch about it and it's well deserved but honestly I think we all feel a bit sad for all the others because they deserved it too !... Some of them really were brilliant, the drawings & animations, etc and so, making a choice is sometimes a very thankless task... Anyway, congrats + good luck for the next super production !... Please, think to a making-off too and especially if the guys "in person" are taking part to the cast☺!

Posted by Agnes(Fr-15/07/2007) on 2010-02-11 22:29:10

Elmira, if you need a couple of assistants on your video shoot, I nominate me and my friend, Manida to help you. :-) If you remember, Manida won for "Sunshine" video category and she really is very creative. I can be your gofer at the video shoot. I can "go for" coffee, doughnuts, etc.
