LONDON -- When Radiohead announced that it would run a competition for fan-made music video vignettes, it was obvious the standard was going to be pretty high.

Back in July, the band took to Instagram to share details of the competition. Basically, fans had to create a one-minute video to be played alongside a piece of music provided by Radiohead -- entrants were encouraged to share their vignettes on social media, and the best of them would be featured on the band's website.

On Sunday, Radiohead began sharing shortlisted vignettes on its Instagram page. Here are the first two:
