Thanks again for your thoughts Mads.

Re: “Yes, even if you only charge $1, you want to continue to be the principle owner of the footage. Unless they are offering you a real large check that is too good to turn down.”

Maybe i’m misunderstanding but wouldn’t I continue to be the principle owner of the footage with Royalty Free also?

What resources do you use or might you suggest when establishing a price. I’m unable to find much of a precedent for mine.

Many Thanks

Thanks for the replies. It did indeed take 3.5 years to make the video.

@Mads – is what you are suggesting a ‘rights managed’ license? The installation is long term ie. at least 15 years I believe, so rights managed or a monthly rate would probably be favorable if the client agrees to it, right?

If I go royalty free I’m having trouble coming up with a licensing fee since it is a unique video, that took a long time to make, that will be shown in a high profile installation that many people will see, for a long duration of exhibit.

Is it appropriate to ask what they are willing to spend?
