Production

The video shows Stewart Copeland filming with his Super-8 camera. In his movie Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out we can see Stewart's view. And how tired Sting looks...

The Hamer instruments used in this video were given to The Police in Chicago on 1980-11-22.

This video was either shot on 1980-11-25 or very early on 1980-11-26. Smash Hits magazine from January 8, 1981 mentions that The Police went skiing and arrived in Philadelphia at the last minute with a private jet.

There's also a rare video version of Don't Stand So Close To Me which was shot here in Canada in the snow.
