What is the name of your state?New YorkWhat is the name of your state?
I was asked to tape a play with my professional equipement so the director could have a copy for archival purposes. We also have a talent management section of our company and seeing as two of my clients were in the play I agreed for a very low price.
The client was extremely difficult and wanted a "wide area " of stage on two of the peices so I had to go back and tape again although the first tape was very good.
I edited the tape so it would look great and put wonderful titles on it. At the beginnning I put a warning not to copy the tape because it is my editing and photography. The director was angry and said that I contributed nothing to the performance and went on to say that I cannot use any peice of the tape for any purpose even as a demo. Of course we were going to use a peice for a demo and also some for my clients who are actors an need a performance tape. I know that I have to get quit releases from web designers and cameramen who work on movies I do so I think I have creative rights as far as the credits and videography of this peice. My photographer friend told me I can copyright the video and titles as videographer. Please let me know what my rights are.
Thank you
