Good encountered controversy with the video for " Alert Status Red " . Initially , the video was intended to be a concept piece , directed by Good . However , upon entering the editing stage , he realized he had n't shot enough footage to make his concept work . He opted to turn all of the footage over to Kyle Davison , who directed the video for " In a World Called Catastrophe " , to see if anything could be made out of it . Davison came up with his own concept , edited it together , and sent the finished product to Good . Good approved of the video , and made it available for download on his website . Good , however , was unaware that Davison had utilized several short clips of surveillance footage of the Columbine High School shootings in the piece . Upon hearing about the clips from individuals who felt the use was insensitive , Good pulled the video from his website . After watching it again , he decided to enlist the opinions of others , including MuchMusic , to see if they had any objections . Most felt it was reasonable , granted that the use was n't exploitative and helped to support the message of the video , a message that they believed was decidedly relevant . Good agreed . He then returned the video to his website and expressed his support for the work of his co-director
