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

Thank you very much for your reply, I found it very informative and helpful. They have 22 facilities nationally and they do want to use them in all of them. I have a sit-down meeting with the national safety director and the saftey director at a local facility tomorow night. I am going request a specific budget for the project in order to know how profesional they want to go. As in any production you can do something cheap, which will look cheap. Or have a polished “holywood” production which will be expensive as hell. They may very well have a $100,000 budget or a $25,000 budget and that will determine the quality of everything, from actors, music, After effects editing etc.
Back to my original question. You don’t think I need to hire a copyright attorney and have a nice, legal document for them to have that states all my work is original and the stock footage rights which I purchased for the project are included, giving them all rights?
