The client provided talent for the video production. The main talent (one individual) has decided to not be in the final edited production. This one person (talent) did sign a talent release form giving their permission that the footage would be used in the final edited production. Update: The talent notified me via phone and email that they did not want to be in the final edited production. </p> <p><strong>Question</strong>: What is my legal duty to honor his wishes to not be in the final edited video? Can I be sued as a production company if I knowingly still keep him in the final production even though he wrote to me and made it clear that he does not want to be in the final edited production? Do the laws vary from state to state or are they federal laws, etc? Note: The said talent did sign and date a talent release form. I have read that the talent release is not always written in stone and that the talent can always ask to be edited out at anytime - perhaps if I refuse to honor his wishes he can sue me and the client?</p> <p>Thank you ahead of time for anyone who can help me with this very important questions. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/interviewing-homelessmentally-ill#post-44146 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:16:28 +0000 onedogdan 44146@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi all,</p> <p> I'm seriously considering shooting a doc about mental illness.  How do you get a person who may not even have i.d. or be of completely sound mind to sign over their likenesses?  Video tape them reading the release?</p> <p> Thanks!</p> <p>-Dan</p>
