logo on clothing permissions
I shot a video a few months ago, told the artist not to wear anything with logos on it, but his co artist pretty much rocked logo’d clothing for the entire shoot. they want to submit the vid for broadcast and is it going to be an issue or should i just blur the logos out?

A lot of times people just assume that nothing is ever permitted, and they self-censor needlessly. What are the logos? Can you geta ruling from the festival organizers?

well, it’s a music video and they want to send it off to mtv canada to broadcast. The artist is wearing an Ed Hardy shirt, there is also a coca cola machine in the immediate bg in one shot as well.

It’s a crazy world we work in, where these companies used to fight and pay for the right to have their logos seen on TV, to where we’re all hiding in bunkers for fear of a lawsuit over what people are wearing and what’s on the wall in the background. I don’t have your answer.I wouldn’t go to the work of roting blurs all over thoguh, until MTV Canada tells you what to do. They must have a producer’s bible of some sort online or available by email, that details their policy. I would start there.

It’s generally acceptable, providing the logo’s rights-holders are not shown in a bad or defamatory light, somehow.
People are going crazy these days blurring logos and branding, when most of the time you don’t have to worry about it too much. Watch any feature film or television show, and you’ll see countless logos that were not intentional product placements… everything from drinks to logos on clothing to computers and cell phones to the cars that people are driving. Usually, it’s a needless worry.

hopefully, i just don’t want to see the artist drop 400 bucks for a beta transfer only to be rejected due to some logo issues.

Wow, now I know I’m getting older… Beta transfers from the distant magical age of tape-based workflows… 😉

BetacamSP, to be more perceise. YES, some stations and networks still ask for this format.

For $400, this must be a gold-plated BetaSP tape. Perhaps the rappers hang it on a chain around their neck for some extra bling.

digi beta transfer and close captioning is what it is.
