What is this video worth?

[OllyB]

Did this video of a job i climbed for someone else. He now wants it for his website, he is a proper business man and everything has a value.

 

[Joe Newton]

Is it not his intellectual property?

[swinny]

Its the climbers property. He decided to put company name on it.

 

Got to be worth 100.00 if the business wants it?

[Joe Newton]

Nice video by the way.

 

If you get good work from the company I'd be tempted to let them use it as a goodwill gesture.

Was thinking the same thing...

The copyright belongs to the person that took the footage.

Before using it for commercial use I suggest you get any model & property release forms signed.

 

Not sure what the normal rates are for videos?.... maybe try Getty for their stock license rates?

cheers, steve

How much work do you get from the company? If it were me and I was getting a lot of work for them i'd just give it them for free. If its just the odd day here and there, I don't think the £100 mentioned is far out of the way

Exactly.

 

A little good will goes a long way. It's why I'm not tight with firewood on harvesting sites. If folk are prepared to tidy up the head of the tree that's fallen into the field, they can have all the firewood. Mutual back scratching is how the best business is done and I fear that if you insist on payment for the video, he might not offer you any more work.

I read it as the company wants to pay for the video and rights to use for advertising.

 

Read the op.

 

100.00 is peanuts for advertising, one off payment. May have it on website for years

Could you not get him to credit you on the video and on the webpage?

That should be good for your reputation.
