model release forms

If you're making a documentary that uses a person's image or voice, they need to sign a release form. Nothing kills the success of a video faster than a lawsuit

Documentary production can be difficult if you're not properly prepared. There will be times when you can't get access for a necessary interview or location, or you're placed under strict time restraints to get everything you need. For this reason, it's important to be thorough in your production planning.
