| Thanks Carey - those are good thoughts and kind of where I'm leaning in my own mind - so very helpful to get confirmation of it. I only give a coin toss of going through anyway - what happened when BBC and PBS approached a couple of years ago as well as a Discovery Channel last year is once it went to the higher ups, they want basically an in-perpetuity stock footage license which is not an option (well unless they are offering millions :) so they both passed. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/ A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. -Stanley Kubrick -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] On Behalf Of Carey Dissmore Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2014 10:15 AM To: After Effects Mail List Subject: Re: [AE] OT: HELP! How much to charge IBM for footage? Stephen did say it was non-exclusive. But under consideration were perpetual, 1 year and 5 year terms. Stephen, I'm not entirely certain of my thoughts, but based on what I know and the practical realities of negotiation, I'd be inclined to say no to perpetual, but not be afraid of 5 years (honestly they'll totally move on after a year or so anyway, so if a 5 year deal nets you an extra few bucks you should do it). So my gut tells me that after negotiations, you should hope to end up in the high 4 figures, perhaps just tipping into 5 figure territory. Set your starting price accordingly. Negotiations on price usually don't go back an forth a ton. Expect about two rounds of price haggling. If they are seriously interested they'll settle quick. If not, they'll just drop the whole thing. That's just my two cents, for whatever it is worth. Not much for inflation. carey On Mar 21, 2014, at 9:57 PM, Rob Birnholz <absolutemotion@birnholz.com> wrote: > Also your material isn't just "stock footage".
