Questions about Corporate Safety Videos

[Paul Carey]

I am more cautious than anything with this project. I have been actively involved with production on all levels for over 5 years. I have done over 70 corporate videos but never for a fortune 500 company. I dont want to screw it up in any way. They are going to use these videos in all 22 facilities and have a very well staffed legal department. I guess I am a bit intimidated by the gravity of this company. I am very able to deliver, I just wasn’t prepared to work for such a large company. By the way these are safety videos that they are required to make because of another, larger, fortune 500 company that they want to start a joint venture on a new line of products. I will know more about what they want by tomorow night. I will post more info after that.

Thanks

This certainly wasn’t researched exhaustively, but WAS blessed by the association’s legal counsel. This was put at the end of each video AND on the back cover of the DVD case.

Hope this helps, but if you’re nervous present this or something like it to the client’s legal department and put it onto them to come up with the safest language. THAT SAID… a disclaimer doesn’t guarantee that you won’t be brought into a lawsuit should something happen. Better than nothing, but not ironclad protection. But the fact of the matter is should there ever be legal action you are small potatoes and the really deep pockets are obviously those of the Fortune 500 company.
