Filming of performance and sound

Each video artist will undertake the documentation of 1 of the ‘no man’s land’ events, taking place simultaneously in 30 tube stations.

Videographers each take one hour of continuous footage.

Footage must be of the Busker Spot event only.  No filming of public or other areas of the station. [LUL and station staff take this very seriously]

Videographers provide a camera, with the ability to record sound – ideally the best quality picture and audio possible and appropriate cable for material transfer.

The use of tripods is at the discretion of the videographer and the Deputy Station Manager on the day of the event.

The camera will need to be taken to a London location straight after the event for download. All material will be used as Open Source and will be uploaded to internet without copyright protection. The Videographer has full rights to use the footage for other projects.
