Monday Music - The Get Out Clause

Written by Chris Schaffer on June 30, 2008 – 7:58 am -

Want to be original but don’t have money? The Get Out Clause did just that. However, the Telegraph can say it better than I can:

Unable to afford a proper camera crew and equipment, The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from the city, decided to make use of the cameras seen all over British streets.

With an estimated 13 million CCTV cameras in Britain, suitable locations were not hard to come by.

They set up their equipment, drum kit and all, in eighty locations around Manchester – including on a bus – and proceeded to play to the cameras.

Afterwards they wrote to the companies or organisations involved and asked for the footage under the Freedom of Information Act Data Protection Act.

When you piece it all together, you get the above music video which seems incredibly creative rather than a cheap solution to a video crew. While filming from the perspective of security cameras is no new thing, as far as I know this might be the first use of the actual security cameras for filming.
