Film Techniques - SnorriCam

A SnorriCam is specialised rig/camera mount used in filmmaking that is attached to the body of an actor, facing the actor directly, so when they walk, they do not appear to move, but everything around them does. A SnorriCam presents a dynamic point of view from the actor's perspective, providing an unusual sense of vertigo (dissorientation) for the viewer. The effect was most iconically used in "Requiem for a dreamer", below are images of the rig that was used in the film along with an image of the final effect:
I feel that this technique may be appropriate for our music video. The effect would not only create a first person view that would help the audiance better relate to the characters but be an insight ito the suituation in the video.
