Peter, you've got mail.

so do u mate :)

Thanks for posting the contract. I'm curious. Is this just a little levity, or was this inserted based on some experience?:

Hey Chris, could I borrow some of the content from and use it. I really need a decent contract. Some of the stuff in there is very vital. I was really wondering how to handle the whole, 'if lighting zaps my camera, what will happen.' Thanks in advance.

Hahahaha

sorry mate, thats jsut one of the elements which i include on my packages.. i give a camera to the bridal party.. they run amok at the reception, i film it.. we try to play act it.. bit like a comedy flooorshow.. works great with the best man or groom. i usually leave a 3rd cam on a pod.. and Groomsman pretends to gingerly walk up.. (all the whle im filmin his sneakiness) then he grabs it an runs around while its recording.. i chase hime .. lol

Very funny shit..


As for using the contract for your own business requirements, pls do so at ur own discretion, however, please do not copy it word for word. us eur discretion for wha u require within ur own biz requirements,

Thanks for letting me borrow some of it. It's a little overwhelming trying to come up with a contract. I had thought of a lawyer, but they may not know all of the particulars that I need. I found some freebees laying around and have been picking from those to word out mine. I just wanted to use the ideas you have. I really thought it was thorough putting the part about the camera placement being up to the discretion of <insert business name> You contract has given me some good direction to think about.


About the person 'stealing' the camera, that'll have to wait untill I have enough equipment to spare, lest they trip over the rug and shatter my little camera all over the floor. :}

yeah you wouldnt want taht, which is why i use my old cheapy family handycam.. id NEVER hand my DVX to anyone.. lol

footage doesnt have to be perfect, on teh contrary, i WANT it to look awful.. like home video.. lol i then mask it with a recording frame... interesting stuff...

as for taking elements, im ok with it so long as people jsut dont leech it like vultures.. dont get me wrong, im all for helping people, but sometimes when people take advantage of you it makes you wanna scream..

which brings me another subject, but ill shut up now..

Peter has requested that the contract be removed and I've deleted the links to it, to avoid confusion. I am also locking this thread, so as to avoid future confusion should someone else make a contract available. If you're interested in a Wedding Contact please start a new thread.
