Music video

The live action music video for "Shut Up and Let Me Go" was directed by Alex and Liane for Factory Films.[2] 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.[3] It begins with Katie White and Jules De Martino arm wrestling in a black, white, and pink room. They are then shown fighting on a grassy set. Various scenes of White and De Martino in front of colourful backgrounds are intercut throughout.

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".[3] The various hand gestures were inspired by the Neoist art movement.[3] The video debuted on MTV in the United States on 13 June 2008.[4] It was nominated for 2008 MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year[5] and won for Best UK Video.[6]
