Video Rights – YouTube & Website
Hi Folks:
I looked around and didn’t find much on this subject except for a discussion on raw footage. Here’s what I am doing. I am in the process of creating a website that deals specifically in one subject; hardwood flooring. It will be populated with a few hundred short videos averaging in the 2-3 minute range covering nearly everything related to the installation and refinishing aspect of the business.
It’s going to take time as I’ll be doing everything. What I’m concerned about is rights. I may have 30 or 40 different contractors involved eventually. These videos will be shown on the main site and YouTube. Should I prepare myself and obtain some sort of waiver or contract? Any sources I should look into? Local mouth pieces give me a blank look as I’m in a rural area.
Here’s the Facebook Page— > https://www.facebook.com/ZzVidz

Your site looks like its purpose is commercial. You have to obtain releases from every person that appears in the videos. You also need a release from every creator of a video that you use. The ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers) has sample release forms on their site.

Beautiful! Thanks Very Much Bob:
Will look into this. Not sure about “every creator.” Every part of the production is done entirely by me including the website. No acquired video or graphics except some minor clip art. Anything else?
