47. Who owns the raw footage after the project is completed?
​
Ownership of the raw footage depends on the agreement we establish before starting the project. Here’s how we typically handle it:
-
Standard Policy
-
By default, Hartshead Productions retains ownership of the raw footage. This allows us to archive and manage the content for potential future edits or requests.
-
-
Client Access
-
If you require access to the raw footage, we can provide it for an additional fee, as handling and transferring large volumes of data involves time and resources.
-
-
Usage Rights
-
You will have full rights to the finalized video as outlined in your contract, meaning you can use the finished product freely for the agreed purposes (e.g., marketing, personal viewing).
-
-
Custom Agreements
-
If owning the raw footage is important to you, we can discuss this during the initial consultation and include it in the contract.
-

This policy ensures clarity and fairness while keeping the process efficient for both parties. Let us know if you’d like more information about accessing or licensing raw footage!
