[QUOTE="Bill Dilks, post: 181802, member: 3950"] Did a brief lookup of info on this. Probably more than you wanted to know. This post is referring to TV and movie filming only, not documentaries, student projects, news reporting, or other incidental projects. Generally speaking, for TV/movies, if you shoot from a public place, the incidental buildings in the shot, even those including signs, are exempt from approval need. If you hang on a building, you MAY need to get a release, and the reputable film companies likely do to be safe. Better to get it before, as after is too late. Some buildings, for example NYC's Chrysler building, have release requirements if the building is featured in a shot, but not if it's part of an overall NYC skyline shot. [IMG]https://globalstorybook.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Chrysler3-2.jpg[/IMG] For a Dallas city skyline shot, you don't need permission from every building owner to use the shot. But focusing on Renaissance Tower as the Ewing building, I'd bet a release was needed back then. [ATTACH=full]17976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]17978[/ATTACH] But, there is a precedent still used in court dating back to around 2005. The building housing the baseball hall of fame lost a case to a photographer who made a calendar out of pictures taken from [B]public [/B]property. [ATTACH=full]17977[/ATTACH] So, are releases required? Yes and no. Lucy tearing down a Los Angeles road as she's following Alan Beam? Did they need releases of all buildings and businesses filmed? Likely "no". To use Campbell Center (Cliff's gold tower offices) on lengthy live and picture shots, very likely "yes". Or for Jamie's friend's apartment establishing shot shown a couple of posts above? Likely "yes". [ATTACH=full]17979[/ATTACH] So, there is no one-answer-fits-all. The over-arching point across most info on this subject is if you're on public property and don't linger on a specific location you likely won't need a release. If you linger, a release is usually gotten. Also do not associate a building or location with murder, drug dealing, or anything dark and negative without permission. A very nebulous subject overall, and very legal as well. [/QUOTE]
