custom video - release form template
 

If I want a model to produce a video for me so I can put it on my website for public viewing with a watermark (my site name) and have it exclusive. How do I go about it: where can I find a release form template she can sign and do I need to consider anything else?

What if instead of a public video I want to bill customer as part of a video on demand service, any template for that too?

you fucking rock man! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Now I realise a witness is needed. Not gonna be easy especially it is remote, I don't actually meet the model in person.

Not at all. The model provides the witness. The witness signs and makes a legal declaration that ho or she has witnessed the model signing it.

They are just witnessing that she signed the paper, not witnessing the video that she made.

Witness could be her B/F, partner, mother or dealer. Doesn't matter. Its her responsibility, not yours - You are not there :)

Thank you so much. That's what I am on gfy for!

I have not downloaded the form but check if it covers

a) an actual consent to release in various media in perpetuity
b) an exclusivity clause.

The form appears to be just a protection agianst a breach of 2257 regulation a.k.a a prevention of "Jail time for Bonzo" ;)

Thats on page 2... No need to download the form fro the link - Its a viewer. Just read page 2. Its pretty much the same release I have used myself on more than 100+ shoots.

don´t forget to get photo id of the model.

preferable a photo copy of ID & a photo image of the model holding both the ID & signed model release together :thumbsup

Yes, good advice. I had forgot to mention this :thumbsup

Heres what I do. Get a pic of the model holding both pieces of ID that she has listed on the form up next to her face like this:

Then get her to take clear pics on her phone (or make a scan of) both IDs like this.

Not sure about copies of HIV tests (as visible slightly in the bottom left of the last pic) as you wont be present. Perhaps someone else can advise? Of course, if its a solo video, the HIV certs wouldn't come into it in the UK but not 100% sure of US laws...

I was wrong. Thanks for the correction.:thumbsup

You're welcome. Its just that on the few occasions I break character, stop talking about poo and shitting in my pants, to give genuine advice... I'd hate to think I was actually leading someone down the wrong path, thats all :)

I see that the release form and IDs relate to the model but how is the relation made with the product itself: how does a specific video gets the exclusive licence.

A model could sell me exclusive rights to video A, non-exclusive rights to video B and no rights for any other products.

If I understand you, then we are at cross purposes. I assumed you were talking about a specific video, (A Custom Video) shot on a specific occasion, for you, to your requirements, in much the same way as a video that is shot by you, while you are there.

If as it now appears you are talking about purchasing 'pre made' already existing videos, for you to use in various ways. That falls into content purchasing. This is a different kettle of fish. When you purchase content from a broker, each video comes with a separate release, which pertains to each video, along with IDs and 2257 documentation, but this really isn't my area of expertise.

I have shot plenty of content in my time, using the formular above, but I have never purchased pre existing content. Perhaps one of the content sellers here would be of more use in answering your question.

However, if I have understood and yu mean you want a girl to shoot a solo Masterbation with a certain toy you provide (Vid A) and then another with her fingers (Vid B) and you want A to be just for you, but B she can also use herself, then you just alter the wording on the forms, as pertaining to each video.
