I would say proceed with caution with the standard caveats. Make sure
whatever they send for payment is legitimate and keep track of what you get

Hey everyone.<br>
<br>
Quick question about selling rights to an animation I produced.<br>
<br>
The animation in question is here:<br>

<br>
I created the animation to submit to the Greyscale Gorilla 5 second project=

I was just approached by a German production company creating a commercial =

onds of footage for 1 year for all media in Germany. =A0They&#39;ve offered=
 1000=80 for the rights.<br>

<br>
I received this message through Vimeo&#39;s message system, not directly.<b=

<br>
I was wondering if anyone on the list has ever had the experience of doing =

I&#39;m flattered that this video I&#39;ve created is being considered for =

Let me know your thoughts.<br>
