Being creatively thrifty

On Monday myself and friends danced the night away to Metronomy at the Albert Hall, alongside several hundred lovers of Devon based electronic music (that must be a genre in itself). Now that the euphoria has died down, and sleep restored I found myself perusing old music videos of theirs. Much to my delight, before the band were popular enough for plebs like moi to have heard of them, they were making fantastic music videos on a shoe-string. The results, I hope you agree are quite charming: it’s amazing what you can do with some coloured paper, face paint and brightly coloured trousers. For me, it’s a great example of how having limited resources, most commonly money, can be a great driver of creativity.
