Transcript

( An empty chair in the office of Gavin and Tariq is seen in the dark. A laptop is laying on the desk in front of it. Suddenly Lee is in front of the camera.)

Lee: It's not who you were expecting, is it? (sits down on the chair) Hello Gavin, (leans forward) mate! Thought I just post this on your Bebo page. Ow, you don't mind I nicked your password, do you? Awww, I thought not. See, I was working late in the office. I was working on, on your corporate video and I thought you know what, maybe our fans on the internet would like to see it. Ow, what's that? It's meant to be top secret? Not anymore! Mate! (laughs)

(The corporate video of Gavin and Tariq begins. The logo of their business G&T IT and images of Gavin and Tariq sitting behind a desk, typing on their laptops are shown.)

Gavin: Good morning and welcome to G&T IT, your most exciting, new IT developement company. This morning, we're pleased to introduce a once in a lifetime investment oppertunity, (swallows) which could allow you to be part of the techological surveillance revolution.

(The screen switches to Gavin and Tariq standing in front of a desk with a laptop on it.)

Tariq: For the last few months, our team of IT scientists have been refining "Project Orwell", a revolutionary new piece of software that will change the world as we know it.

Gavin: Using top secret network protocols, "Project Orwell" allows an user to use the internet to connect to and discretely activate the webcam of any computer in the world.

Tariq: Permit us to demonstrate.

(Tariq pushes a button on the laptop and several clips of webcamvideos are seen, including one of Daniel [1],from Lonelygirl15.)

(Tariq and Gavin are seen again, still standing at the desk.)

Tariq: A controversial entrenchment on human rights or a nessacery next step in national security? However you look at it, the all software provides his users with an incredible...(the screen freezes and a click on a laptop is heard. Then we see Lee again.)

Lee: They have created an extremely illegal piece of software and plan on making lots of money of exploiting our privacy. So, maybe they aren't as dumb as they look. (smiles) Oh no, I'm wrong, yes they are! Gavin isn't too good at backing things up. So he ask me to do it! Big mistake! (picks up a drive from the table) I have whiped every trace of it from everywhere, except my drive! So if you ever wanna see your software again, you better start getting ready with your apologies! Investors aren't gonna like that... (Lee kisses his drive.)

Notes

• Another male voice whispering in the background can be heard from 0:07-0:10.
• In this video we learn that Gavin's surname is Taylore and Tariq's is Bhartti.
• The name of Gavin and Tariq's project, 'the Orwell project' is a reference to author George Orwell who wrote the novel '1984.' In '1984', people were monitored through screens on the wall of every home and had no privacy. Gavin and Tariq's 'Orwell Project' is the first step towards the dystopia that George Orwell created.
• At 01:50 in the video, a brief clip from The Email with Daniel can be seen, another reference to LG15.
