Genius! And... terrifying. Looked to me like the cameras aren't even static - there's an astonishingly close-up close up of the lead... Shudder.
The teabags have a FOIA? I thought the Official Secrets Act gave the Crown the right to detain, imprison, kill, etc. anybody who presumed to ask for information in the UK.

That video is no longer available.
After all, we're artists, not journalists or documentary makers and the most important thing for us was to make a video that looked good.
Keep digging, Tony.
The use of the different colored footage is nicely done.
So interesting! I wonder if the US FOIA allows you to do that. It's been severely constrained under this administration of course, but that's w/r/t classified/re-classified documents. Whatever you say about Bill Clinton (and I could say a lot), he did de-classify a lot during his tenure.
That's a chipper lead: "Many people are uncomfortable with the march of the surveillance state - but a Manchester band has used it to their advantage." See! Surveillance can be fun!
I'm wondering what they asked for exactly: all footage taken at a particular time and place? How advanced is the indexing?
That video is no longer available.
Firefox + Flash is effectively useless right now. I watch most videos in IE lately.
I disliked the song, mildly disliked the video, and was convinced that I disliked it upon realizing that it was mostly made up. I have a hard time believing that these guys can't even scrape together a few hundred for a little digital video recorder, anyway.
You have to pay for every request you make to receive copies of CCTV footage of yourself. So, it's bollocks.
It can be done [people have done similar projects in the past], but finances would not be the reason.

That would be the Data Protection Act, not the Freedom of Information Act.
Everybody, go shooting!
We did it first.
Yeah, 13 is right. Forgot to point that out.
There have been articles in the press for ages about creative uses to which people have put the Data Protection legislation re: CCTV footage. Also, some articles about the creative ways in which CCTV camera operators avoid complying. One that I remember reading; the response to the request was a frame by frame laser printout on A4 paper with the faces of everyone else in the footage blacked out.

That would make a scary flipbook.
