If you had submitted it within 48 hours it should not have been rejected for size. I think by the time you started discussing the frame grab the deadline had passed.

Steve UK Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 If you are in the U.K. And in a public place, you are free to publish, ask anyone who questions you from BBC for Id and report them to production manager and BBC press office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelv Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I am involved in filming, used to be a camera operator / focus puller now a prop man, productions don't like it as it could give a story line away or other info about the film, we are not allowed to post anything on any social media site, and taking pics is frowned upon, on set but obviously in a public place they can't really control the setting or stop the public taking pics. I was focus puller on Fools and Horses including the Batman and Robin episode, the production did everything to keep photographers away, late night in Bristol, artic lorries, sheets of poly, large silk screens etc covered the action as they really didn't want anyone to see the story and give it away, and they succeeded in that instance.

Yep.... I do a lot of production stills for TV and film drama......it's a pain in the ass when closely guarded plot lines are , perhaps completely innocently , divulged by photos taken, and then shared, by people outside of the production cordon.....

aphperspective Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 On the subject of being "bothered" by people from a production crew. Today a film crew turned up in the village with a well know sports celebrity doing a meet and greet as part of a documentary to be released later in the year. I already new when they would arrive and positioned myself on the opposite side of the street to get some shots. Sure enough as soon as my DSLR came into view a production assistant came trotting over. She asked who was i and what was i doing and i would need the permission of the celebrity to take pictures. My reply was "as you are not a member of the law enforcement force, who i am had very little to do with you. Secondly i am stood in a public place and these images will be for editorial use only on a live news feed, and as such i don't need permission and if you have trouble digesting that call the police and we will see who is on the right side of the law as there are no tapes/barriers saying where to stand." Of trotted production assistant never to return. My advice when challenged stand your ground if you know your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marb Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have close up shots of the soldiers Royal Artillery war damaged uniform out of context from the general shots of the production. The detail does not identify War Of The Worlds or the BBC. It could be a fancy dress or other situation. The question is, can I use it as a general stock image and not editorial or is it still in the grey area of copyright ? The reason I ask is because I might submit it with no relation to the program at all. Also, some of the extras I photographed swapped email addresses as they would like copies of images with themselves in. As they were so nice and obliging I did say I would do that.

spacecadet Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There's no copyright as such in a costume. Design right didn't exist in 1914, and if it had it would have been Crown copyright and it is now long expired. As you know there's no separate copyright in a photograph of a painting. Similar principle here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 You should still annotate as no property release though. The licence you grant the actors should be limited- you don't want them using it in "Spotlight" or sending it to the papers. Unless you get the fee of course!. Maybe send a small size that's just suitable for a small print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CDPA is pretty clear about that. I don't know if it's been tested in the English courts but it has in the American, Bridgeman v. Corel 1999, and Bridgeman lost. Wikipedia also deny the principle.
