Band Uses Security Cameras to Make Video
The Get Out Clause, an unsigned British band, wanted to make a music video. Lacking a more obvious way to make one, the Get Out Close turned to the closed-circuit security cameras that have become so omnipresent in British life.
They performed "Paper" for the security cameras, then filed freedom of information requests for the footage.
Bonus: Band rocks Big Brother

That's really brilliant. Do all Brits call Security Cameras "CC TV" like on the show Torchwood?
Awesome video. I like the song, too
@NHS, I believe all of British life is exactly like Torchwood.
Yes, CCTV seems to be the usual term in things like news stories, radio call-in discussions, etc. I hear/read it all the time in my anglophile reading and surfing.
I really wanted to see the "Lollipop Lady." I'll never think of Barney Fife the same way again.
That's such a brilliant concept that I really wish I liked the song more!
The footage from all security cameras is shown on CCTV: it stands for Closed Circuit Television, meaning it's not being broadcast.
Great Clip. I totally loved the concept, and the song was a fun one.
I wish there had been a few more camera shots, but one can't win them all...
:)
