QUICK ANSWERS TO SOME REGULARLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
How do I fill out the Appearance Release form? (this form is only
needed for the person/persons whose image or voice is clearly seen or
heard)
1) Put the submitter's name at the top of all Appearance release
forms, not the person who appears. The person appearing should sign
and date at the end of the form. If the person who is submitting also
appears that person should also fill out a form.
What if I can't find or get a person appearing to sign the Appearance form?
2) In this case send us a letter detailing
a) The person's name (if you have it).
b) What the person looks like/what they are wearing in the video.
c) What that person is doing in the video.
What about the music I've included in my clip? Do I need to get rights
on my own for that or will you deal with it?
1) Don't worry about clearing rights for music. We'll deal with it.
What if the video isn't mine? …
2) If you did not shoot or do not have ownership of the video, can you
tell us who does (with contact info) or where online you found it?
