Music production company champions artistic freedom
Svana Gisla, Head of Music Video at Black Dog Films - the company responsible for producing videos for Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines and Miley Cyrus’s Wrecking Ball, says they champion artistic freedom.
In an interview with ITV's Tonight programme, she said: "What's offensive to one person is not offensive to another. You can’t ask an artist to conform to your own sensibility, I wouldn't ask you to conform to what I find offensive.
"As a mother, all I can say is I'm not necessarily a huge fan of all the images that we produce in videos but I'm a huge fan of the choice the artist has to make them."

Lennox against exposing kids to explicit music videos

"I think it is when, and I am being specific, it's when you stand simulating masturbation with your clothes on or off... or bending over with your derriere in the air and thrusting your pelvis that's pretty hard core."

Singer-songwriter Annie Lennox told ITV's Tonight programme that artists should act responsibly as role models to children.
She said: "Liberation always comes with responsibility. There is no such thing as absolute freedom. I just think in a way that you have profited in a way from that young audience and then you are just like 'I will do what I like'. I don't think that's fair. I think it is exploitative."
