Youtube allows users to choose a “creative commons” licence on uploading, and if they do so (and have the rights to the material that they’vee uploaded) then that material can be re-used in accordance with those creative commmons terms. Have a look at
www.youtube.com/t/creative_commonsOtherwise normal copyright applies : the rights rest with the rights holder. Sections 6 to 8 of the terms cover this.

Why would that be oustide of your normal time rate …?

Nice.
Wonder if it would have been better shorter … I drifted off a little approaching 2 mins in for a while … and the music might have been better … but that’s being picky. Well worth a share.

As Fernando says, for lots of good reasons frames are hardly used now (apart from iframes for ads, youtube links, and that usage is likely to go as sites modernise and move towards standards compliance, HTML5 ). Most people would advise you to keep away from them.
It seems you want to swap content in part of your page on a link.
You could do something like that with javascript

CSS is a good way to go, and will survive eventual transition to HTML 5. Some links that might help you include :
https://www.csszengarden.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tableless_web_design
https://www.alistapart.com/Spry and other javascript-based add-ons can add “features” to your site quickly and relatively easily, but you don’t need them, they can sometimes cause problems, and by calling pre-made components to do fairly simple things. Some would argue that you lose a little control of your site, and might do better to work out what it is you want to do, and then learn the little bits of code you need to make that work.

It’s good that you have legal cover.
As described, your contract / agreement does not include original footage, and you are under no obligation to deliver more than contracted unless you so wish. An extra fee might persuade you.
I think, too, that the point about harassment was a good one : phone calls at 1.00 a.m. about a business dispute fall out of the normal realm.

“Need” and 14 hour days … there’s a stretch on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs !
Often, long days are an economic decision : if locations and equipment are on a per-day and not per-hour, total cost can come down if people work long shifts. But there’s nothing in the economic logic that requires that people shouldn’t be paid for their hours worked.
A drawback with long-hours shoots is that, very often, efficiency and creativity drop off as everybody gets more and more tired – so you get two hours of output from your first two hours, but you may get a lot less value from hours thirteen and fourteen.
It sounds like you’ve already raised this well, your client has reacted favorably. You just need her / him to come up with something ahead of the shoot : you can explain that nicely. If the client can’t control that you are paid for the extra time, is it really on to ask you to do (and get the people you’ve hired to do) the extra time unpaid?

That shocking for the British Museum. It’s hard to believe that these are really British Museum employees, and not contractors in some hired agency using their name.
Anyway, the UK has a cheap, fast-track “small claims track” in its county courts for amounts up to a few thousand pounds. There need be no lawyers involved.
The court fee is quite small (about £50 i think) and can be added to the sum being claimed.
The court hearing the case will be close to the defendant (London, I guess) but you don’t have to attend. It may be that pointing out in a legal letter to your client that you intend to pursue this route, and will add in extra charges for court costs and lost interest to the amount you claim unless they settle in the following 15 days. This may induce them to settle. Teh official website says you can claim :
” Claiming costs if you win
As well as the amount you’re asking for you might be able to claim:
* any court fees you have paid
* up to £260 for legal advice for some claims
* loss of earnings for you and any witness (up to £50 a day)
* travelling and overnight expenses ”I don’t know if there’s an advice source close to you (British Embassy?) that might help.

No doubt your clients’ lawyers will want to look at the details of the claimed patent(s). Perhaps you could get your contacts to pass that info to you, and you could post it here for us, and we could all dig up and look at any claimed patent, and see how it sits with prior art, inventive step, whatever. This is a new one to me too.
