It would have been rrrrreeeeaaaalllyyy cool if when they started fighting and the table cloths got pulled off the tables they were playing chess on turned out to be coffins instead of tables.
Very nice camera work. Someone suggested it's a little repetitive to watch people play chess for the length of the video. What I propose, to mix it up, are shots of the band performing the song. I know this is a contest and therefore not a realistic recommendation. But it would be so so so awesome.
The video was honestly pretty boring for the most part. I understand the "treating people just like pawns in chess" theme, but it needed something else to keep it from just being a yawner. Maybe a dual plotline - another story cut between scenes of the chess tournament, paralleling the two, showing what the chess represents. Because the video is pretty weak until the end (which, by the way, was great. Wonderful ending.)

Christ this is awful. The video's fine, but as covers go it's terrible. At least most people who cover it sound alright. I imagine lots of cake fans will be upset by this.

this is FUCKING gay! this ruined the song,, its faggot people who make gay ass bands like this and ruin awesome songs like this that deserve to FUCKING BURN IN HELL YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKING FAGGOTS GET A LIFE YOUR NOT A BAND YOU RUINED IT!!!!
Just wondering, is this an actual movie, or is there just the music video? (if there isn't already, this'd be really cool as a film.. all be it its chess)oh, yea, 5/5
I thought this vid was AMAZING! I was so upset to hear i did not win! My fav part is at the end when Connor is about to punch Ned in the face...and BAM! check mate. Loved it!
No way, it makes the message. It's saying that we are all just pawns to the Director, or the figurehead of a country. We may feel like we are in control, and that we are moving the pieces, but even if we are moving the pieces... he is moving us, so do we really have any power?
Hey! Kay i <3 this video and think it should win! i rele like when the curly guy takes out one of the blond guys rooks then goes like "ha" and then blonde dude wins the game and makes the funny face. very nice. also that ones girls snarl at the beeg. teehee made me alugh. also very good look from guy who was gonna get punched at end.
This was really cool. It was great to see someone actually going out and shooting something, well done. Presumably, the behind the scenes stuff was some kind of commentary on the fact that recent war efforts have been fought as much in the media as they have on the battlefield, but it did interrupt the narrative of the video for me. The eruption of violence toward the end came at just the right time, as I was starting to get a little bored. One of the best I've seen so far, without doubt.
The kids were cool in this vid, well done for actually getting out there and making something. Didn't like the behind the scenes bits, I can see why they're there but I think it would have been more interesting without them. Nice ending, apart from the 'Checkmate' line.
sorry if you don't agree with my opinion, i just didn't like the video. I take it you know nothing about the contest. If you did then you would KNOW that i didn't make a video to enter into the contest. Sounds to me like you are close to the director or you wounldn't have gotten so PISSED by my comment.
Very good job from everyone involved. I think everyone was great. Lots of good character from the actors. The whole thing is so witty. I wish someone can explain to me why the end went back to the guy saying checkmate. Send me a message and tell me Mike.
ya i was in this. The song is awsome to. I am one of the hockey people in it and im also at the front of the line as we walk in and then we play chess.
nice! totally love the fun they have with good jams and they never ruin em'.

The director is the politician. The guy watching all the kids is the general, and all of the chess players are really the pawns.
If you watch the cuts and listen at the same time, it makes sense.

WEll... to tell you the truth I was very bothered by the fact that it cut out to the director person. It pretty much ruined the video.
I think I see why - He is the "Master Person" behind it or something. but I dont agree with it.
I think if the video was complete without the stupid cut outs it would be about ten times better.
