Ok – we produce our own material – and we have all the required records. If I’m understanding this correctly, I now have to track additional dates such as when I digitally remove that huge pimple from Honeys ass (hope she doesn’t read this post ), when I edit raw video into a coherent track, when I add sound, headers, watermarks, etc…. then again when I package and label the video (or post it on a site) And again when I strip the 12 second clips for my free sites, when I post the free sites – Christ – it never ends…….. (and since it takes me forever to complete an edit, which date do I use???)
I also understand the reluctance of producers to release complete data on actors as this opens us up to huge civil suits if the data is misused. With the rapid rise in identity theft combined with the actors basic right to privacy, I’ll be hard pressed to hand just anybody the life story of my actors – many of which are friends and all of whom have entrusted me to maintain a certain level of privacy for them. Even if our contracts do allow me to release the information as required by law – where do we draw the line?
Bottom line – we’ll comply because I have no intention of seeing a prison cell from the inside - now if I can just figure out what I’m supposed to comply with? I forwarded this post to my attorney maybe he can sort this out………
