Copyright & Artwork in Movies
I had found this article that I posted on my twitter feed about Copyright & Artwork do's and don'ts in Movies.
here is a recap of that article or you can check it out for yourself. at https://www.photosecrets.com/copyright-artwork-movies
What are the laws for using photos or art in movies and TV shows?
If the art appears very briefly or is shown for news or criticism, then permission may not be necessary. Otherwise, the permission of (and payment to) the artist is probably required.
Photos, paintings and sculptures often appear in movies and TV shows. If that artwork is contributing to the commercial enterprise, then, like the actors and crew, the artist should get paid. In these cases, a production assistant will usually contact the artist and ask for a license in exchange for payment.
However, if the use is very minor, or the artwork is very old, then permission and payment may not be needed under de minimis, fair use, public domain grounds.
the article is extensive, but well worth the read.
thank you for looking at this post, and enjoy the find.
