A cover version of "Do They Know It's Christmas" done for a college project, as a protest song for an imaginary 'war' in Kyrgyzstan. The singers and people in this are acting roles.
I had two thoughts when making this. Firstly, what if the original video had been made like a pop video, instead of just recording the stars singing into a microphone? Here's how it could have turned out.
Secondly, this was recorded at the same time as "Band Aid 20", when there were lots of stories in the press about celebrities fighting about who should sing certain lines, arguing over who gets to sing the most, and fame-hungry celebrities turning up at the video shoot uninvited. There seemed to
be a lot of 'ego' involved with Band Aid 20. And then when the video was released, it featured the Sugababes coated in lipgloss, Justin Hawkins thrusting his nob into a guitar, and Joss Stone trying to outsing everybody. Then right at the end, the celebs applaud themselves, "Woo, we saved the world
!" So I put aside any preconceived ideas about the message of this song video. The video concentrates on being a pop video, and is therefore deliberately 'out of touch with the original message of the song.
