Videomaker Short Video Contest 2007 Question « Videomaker Community Forums

Hello! I am currently working on my entry, and have a question regarding music. I know that the composer needs to sign out a paper that gives the videographer by name the right to use his music. But does it have to be in ink? I mean, since I live on the East Coast, and the composer on the West, is it OK if I fax him the paperwork, and can he fax back his signature on it?

Rather than having to spend weeks going through the postal service?

Faxes and emails are certainly acceptable proof. As long as we can see the fax header and/or the email addresses involved, no problem. Just print out the email or photocopy the fax and include this documentation with your entry materials.

We look forward to seeing your video!

Would this work out in printed version?

Ryan,

Absolutely! I think I got this email a while back, but wasn't for sure if
I replied to it or not. send me whatever forms you need and I'll do what I
can to get them signed. I leave the country for two weeks on Sept 3rd -
14th so anytime before that would be great.

all the best and looking forward to seeing the finished film.

Cheers!

Alright! Thanks for making this so easy! We plan to finish filming the weekend of September 22, then I'm off to some furious editing to bring it in to you guys.

Thanks!
