Music video

The video for "Shut Up and Let Me Go" was directed by Alex and Liane for Factory Films.[3] The video, filmed in one day, features The Ting Tings performing kung fu and uses a variety of hand gestures to transition from scene to scene.[4]

Directors Alex and Liane described the video as "a bit over-ambitious" because of its fight scenes which "were just so time consuming to get right".[4] The various hand gestures were inspired by the Neoist art movement.[4] The video premiered on MTV in America on 13 June 2008.[5] It was nominated for 2008 MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year, but lost to Britney Spears' "Piece of Me"[6] and won for Best UK Video.[7]
