A band named The Get Out Clause was Manchester UK wanted to make a video but they couldn’t afford the proper camera crew or equipment.  So they came up with an ingeious idea.  They played around the city in front of the CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras.

If you have never been to the UK they have these CCTV everywhere.  Last summer when Nan and I were in the UK on vacation I was amazed at the number of these things. So this band plays in front of them, some eighty different locations.

And then they ask for the footage under the freedom of information act and they get all the footage for FREE.  That’s right for free.  Then it was just the job of editing it together over their song.

There is always a way.  There is always a solution.  When people go into business I actually get nervous if they have a lot of money because they tend not to think and budget but instead spend like crazy and go out of business in flames quickly.  Someone with little or no money has to think of creative ideas.  And the creative ideas is the stuff that makes a business.  The idea is key.

Many big businesses start new ventures with no money.  It is just a matter of structuring the deal.  The art of the deal as Trump would say.

The link below takes you the the news story about it and the video.  They also got some great reactions from people wondering why they are playing a full band with drums and the works in the middle of a road.
