Marina And The Diamonds I Am Not A Robot Remake
Marina (And The Diamonds) Diamandis releases the follow up to her Top 20 single 'Hollywood' next week with 'I Am Not A Robot', taken from her stunning (Top 5) debut album 'The Family Jewels'.
The official video for the single comes directed by Rankin and Chris Cottam:

The video above, is of New York elementary school kids choir, the PS22 Chorus, who last week posted their own rendition of 'I Am Not A Robot' on their YouTube channel – check it out!
To time with the release of the new single, there has been a competition launched for the best video interpretation of the song. The brilliant official video by Rankin and Chris was very much a creative experiment and so it's now the turn of budding music video directors to have a go! It can be as high-tech or as web-cam sing-a-long as you like.
The winner of the competition will receive a £250 cash prize and a flip cam. Two runners up will also receive flip cams.
To submit a video, it needs to be uploaded via an account to YouTube, and then submitted via the official group here:
