More Cameras = More Famous People!

posted by Jandos Rothstein

Cities contemplating increasing the number of surveillance cameras may want to consider London’s recent experience as a cautionary tale — the city's huge camera system was used as cinematographer for a new music video.

The Get Out Clause performed their new song "Paper" in front of various security cameras around the city, and then followed the British equivalent of FOIA requests to obtain the tape. The result, which strings together footage from about a dozen cameras, is now playing on YouTube.
