Do I have to clear the actors in a film clip or still?

Probably. Depending on when the film was released and the proposed use of the material, actors may have to be contacted for a written release and a re-use payment may need to be made. The Screen Actors Guild (www.sagaftra.org) may be able to provide useful information on obtaining consents and making payments. You may also consider contacting a professional clearance service. We can provide a list of clearance service providers upon request.

How do I handle stunt performers?

You should attempt to identify each stunt performer featured in the clip or still that you want to use. If you are unable to identify a particular stunt performer, you might try contacting the stunt coordinator on the film. Stunt coordinators can often be located through SAG or via the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com). SAG will assist you with obtaining payment information for the featured stunt performer and advise you on the appropriate SAG scale payment.

Is the music included in the film clip license?

No. To license music from a clip, please contact Info@UnitedGlobalPictures.com

Are there other guilds I need to contact to clear a clip and/or still?

There may be additional clearances required from the Writers Guild of America (www.wga.org) and/or the Directors Guild of America (www.dga.org).

Can I make changes to the clip or still?

Alterations or modifications of film clips or stills are not permitted without the express written consent of United Global Motion Pictures.

What is included in the license?
