Hello
Your guys are in for laugh, I went to this religious institution a friend invited me to, and straight from my heart I naively offer to do a free documentary about the place since they needed a decent presentation I showed them some of the previous documentaries I have done on my iPad and they shared a link to one they liked so we got a clear idea, so I ended up suggesting that I record in there place while they held an event, and I suggested I shoot images from the most interesting positions to get the coolest cinematic footage and then we record voice overs of the story line, since no interview is actually taking place between people., and before the end they can decide if it represents their story well.
Now this place is like a church, around 80 people show up regularly and no one ever bothers you if you bring our iPhone and take photos and videos, no poster on the wall with the NO CAMERAS ALLOWED etc, they have security but that's all., so they told me come on this day and shoot this event, ok I said me and another friend will try to get good shots we can use for the documentary with 2x canon 5dmkiiis.,
I go down there with tons of gear with a friend, as I am setting up some millionaire member if their community who doesn't PR there starts telling me what he wants to do. With the video and shots he does not want, I explained what I was doin but he insisted he was in charge of this project, so I asked him what exactly does he want us to do and In detail before we start, he shows me this documentary and says something like this or better, so I said you just need a camera person your the producer m he said yes, and I explained that was not the original plan but now that we are hear i asked him what he wants again and he said something like this video again., we decided to talk after wards because I was not sure I understood him.
Finally we where done, the PR GUY says put it all on a CD, I said its 65 GB, then he want only the photos, I said there are 6500 raw files, I suggested a hard drive, then he says compress it and put it on vimo, I asked why and he said he will pick what they want and what they don't want, my friend who video and photographed from the other side of the stage asked again what the plans to do and he said he wants to produce this, my friend wen said the PR guy told him also that he was in charge and he will pull the project if it's not accordingly u to his way.
So here we have me, offering a free documentary where is as supposed to shoot scenes used later with a story line all with another fiend, then this 3rd person shows up and says he wants this and hat his way and makes threats later while I am back at home like they own the footage and I must bring it back and nit edit it at all before they have it,
At this moment I said cool off until next week, I personally want nothing to do with the whole place now, but I got my find all mixed up in tis, he says if they do use out photos for commercial purposes he wants his share, he also says we own he footage no way about it, and he added that he wants in writing what exactly their so called titles are because the PR guy says he asked what he wants Ti fil and the guy says he has an idea but can't express it well, I was like I like a Beatles song too but I can't write a number one hit either.
So whatever advise can you guys give or share i deeply appreciate on this topic
Thanks in advance
Cheers
