The shoot was located at the Exmouth Markets near Holborn, London, UK. Keep up the good work Bru.

Looking to save a dollar or two in 2009? Take a leaf out of The Get Out Clause’s book. The band from Manchester couldn’t afford to make a video for their debut single so they looked for an alternative means.

The band very cleverly positioned themselves in front of different CCTV cameras around the city while performing their single Paper.

After writing to the council and asking for copies of the footage (under UK privacy protection law, if you request CCTV camera footage and pay a nominal fee they are legally obliged to supply it), they edited the hours of CCTV content to create their music video.

A prime example of being creative with the tools (and budget) available… nice moves!

If you haven’t already done so, please give generously to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009 by either making a secure online donation or by phoning 1800 811 700.

Over the last couple of years we have seen the introduction and rise of a security device against unwanted spam called CAPTCHA. As I am sure many of you are aware, this device simply allows websites, blogs & forums to protect their integrity against SPAMBOTS by requiring human visual authentication via the entry of a warped image code as verification before the message is sent. It was only a matter of time before we saw an uprising against such security and unfortunately that day has now come. There are a number of Indian and Russian companies (where SPAM laws are more relaxed) with incredibly vast networks of cheap labor that offer up to as many as 250,000 cracked CAPTCHA’s per day for SPAMMERS to continue their bombardment of our lives … – Click here to find out more
