RE: [AV Media Matters] What to charge for use of footage

[judyjones@csus.edu]

I just replied to this request; however, I didn't complete my reply fully.
We have a simple (yet elegant)contract devised through trial and error - be
glad to send anyone a sample on disc.
Seems to work for us.  We are the "Harry Sweet Television News Archives" and
have about 6 million feet of out-takes with rights.  Covers 1967-1980 and
part of 1981.  Lots of weather, parades, local sports, and a few gold
nuggets.  My phone is 916/278-7302.  judyjones@csus.edu

Hi from L.A.--one idea is to connect with the UCLA Film and Television
Archive [wsarch@emelnitz.ucla.edu], which has dealt with such
situations as yours for many years and which has developed cost
schedules, etc.  Dale Treleven, UCLA Oral History Program
