Footage Sales

Footage and segments are available for licensing from much of our content.

Footage Licensing

We license footage by the minute or the second. Please inquire and we will let you know if the footage you desire is available from us.

Rates

Our pricing is negotiable, as there are too many variables to build a coherent rate card. So just tell us what your budget is on a per minute or per second basis, tell us what rights, territory and term you desire, and we will try to work with you. Please note: We do not provide footage for free, whether to not-for-profit entities or independent filmmakers. In addition to a license fee there will be costs for video file access and transfers.

Legal

Footage and segments are licensed on a non-exclusive basis and is authorized for use only in the production specified on the license agreement. The footage may not be sold, rented, licensed, re-used, re-edited or re-cut for use in any production other than the one for which it is licensed.

Hollywood Collection Footage Licensing

Licensing segments from our Hollywood Collection movie star biographies and profiles presents special difficulties because of the nature of the content — documentaries comprised of richly interwoven footage, some obtained from Hollywood movie studios, some from family archives, and some original footage, usually interviews of stars themselves, or other actors, actresses, agents, family members and friends. It must be evident that the segment is from our program, and licensees must not attempt to use our programs as an easier way to obtain feature film footage which they must obtain from the appropriate Hollywood studios. Any feature film footage must remain in context with our own content. Therefore, prospective licensees must adhere to the following guidelines when licensing segments from the Hollywood Collection.

• The licensed footage must run with an onscreen “lower-thirds” as follows: Courtesy of Janson Media
• Any feature film footage must remain contiguous with an equal-length segment of our own original content (eg. interview footage), whether leading into or out of the film clip.
• Any narration or voiceover used in our program, must remain intact.
• Third party feature film or archival footage may not exceed exceed half of the total footage licensed and used.
• Licensees must provide us with a time-coded digital file of their fine cut, showing their intended use of the segment, for our approval, prior to initial broadcast.
