If I was at that festival and a stranger had a camera on me or my friends/ family as the focus though I would def want to know why.

Anyhow, a commerical festival is not a public space and the event holder sets the policies. It's not the same thing.

But if you work at the bb complex you should understand why people are filming, like you say, its not the same as someone filming your family, that would be creepy, but getting all hot and bothered cause someone is filming a company building that films people for a living is just ridiculous.

Someone filming your family on a public street would be creepy, but it would be legal. By your arguments so far it should be ok and permission shouldn't need to be asked, because they are already being filmed by CCTV.

It's just polite to ask first and respect people if they object. I personally extend that to any private property personally, in the same way that it is illegal to film someone's private house from the street. But, that's just me I admit.

It's worth noting that the company only films people for a living with their permission.
