But most things fall into the public domain as they are items that no one has a financial, historical or other incentive to maintain identity. However, anytime you feature a current or recent (i.e. within the last 75 years or so) recognizable thing or any thing not considered public property, copyright, use, permission, clearance and/or releases becomes an issue. Short of consulting an attorney, the short answer is yes, the Paramount clip is copyright and just like music, you need clearance to use any length clip. However, if you can use it someway that it's not recognizable as such, they you are "probably" safe, considering this is the DV Challenge and not a major Hollywood release. |
Sean's clip was not recognizable by me at the resolution I watched it at.

I was hoping you guys would say that. I thought some of you would know where to find it. It's not a secret, I just haven't told anyone where it is publicly.
So, I know I can't ask Dylan but what did you think Stephen? Sean PS, as an inside to my dark side, I watched Cronenbergs "Spider" last night for the first time and another film, not a Cronenberg, "Saw" just now. Great stuff. Especially the endings. I wasn't a Cronenberg fan really except for "Videodrome". I own a copy. "Spider" was very good and to listen to the special features on the making of it, excellent. SM |

Well, I spent most of yesterday sleeping, after doing an all nighter marathon to finish my flick.
Although we had a full week, I was betting heavily on a concept that involved a kidnapped hostage, whose captivity footage was being broadcast, day after day, over worldwide TV's. I shot the finale first, and did a rough cut on saturday night. The thing as huge, about two minutes, after trimming down a LOT of dialogue. I scapped it - "besides, this is probably too morbid for DVC", I thought. (How's that for dark, sean?) Afterwards I went into depression mode - during the week I seriously thought in starting a Wall of Shame thread myself, pretty much what Daniel did. On Thursday, another idea came that wasn't so bad to scrap it immediatly. But it was going to close. Well, We wrote, shot, edited and scored the film in under 24 almost continuous (had to go to work), LONG hours. By the end of it, I was just too tired, screaming with FCP's rendering options, BUT had a film in my hands (or disk...). A friend provided the hosting, and that was it. This was my second short, and definitely a worthwhile experience. The film was shot with a JVC GR-PD1 (which as I found out now has a dead pixel - fortunately it's still in warranty), a Manfrotto tripod, home-grade halogen lights, and some basic props (tiny webcam on exteriors). It was cut with Final Cut, and the soundtrack composed with GarageBand. It was a dead-tiring experience, but I loved every minute of it. All the best, Hugo |
Oh, yes, and the finished clip is 3 minutes, 59 seconds, and 24 frames long... :) without the credits...
All the best Hugo |
