🖊️Video Release Form

Purpose

The purpose of a release form is to protect the company from any unwanted lawsuits or any other issues that the participant(s) may file against the company. That is why we need the guest(s) to sign a video release form so we can protect ourselves and have a written agreement that they agreed on participating in the video and that we own the footage and we can use it however we can.

Procedure

Step 1. When the guest has accepted the invitation and confirmed their schedule, email the release form to them and ask them to sign it.

Include a short explanation on what it is about. If they didn't return it via email, the producer should ask them to sign a physical/hard copy during the shoot or a digital form via phone.
