In Manchester UK, Big Brother's watching, and so is everyone else. A rookie band with zero budget created a great-looking music video using the city's surveillance cameras. Well done, guys.
(The song's okay too.)
The best part is that they obtained the videos through the Freedom of Information Act. Use that surveillance state to your advantage!
Very clever use of media: playing to cameras in the street, in taxis, even on a bus. Videos capture reactions from passersby, and the use of frames warps space and time in smart ways. I guarantee this mechanism will be used to execute an ad or viral video (if it hasn't happened already).
