CCTV:The Get Out Clause and Father Guido Sarducci

I thought the famous CCTV music video from The Get Out Clause seemed especially relevant for our Foto4 Group given recent discussions regarding re-contextualization. By way of background, the band set up their music equipment, from microphones to drum kit, in eighty different locations, including buses and what appear to be taxi cabs, and then requested all of the footage using the Data Protection Act. Interesting and scary.


Also, as a Labor Day weekend bonus, please to enjoy Father Guido Sarducci on art school and the the advantages of being an artist. (And, The truth about IKG and the great career change of '07 is revealed.) The short clip was produced by George Manupelli and William Farley in 1982 at San Francisco Art Institute and it won a 198 Clio award.

p.s. I'd argue that both clips are ongoing, international exhibitions.

p.s. Lighting notes:

CCTV -- various existing internal and external lighting; quality/color = everything from fluorescent indoors to natural out of doors lightening combine to create low quality, low contrast, fuzzy images.

Father Sarducci -- indoors; quality/color = relatively low key lighting creating strong contrast and sharper shadows, i.e., chiaroscuro ; source/direction = appears to be lit with multiple lights, perhaps classic Hollywood three point lighting, i.e., back, fill, key.
