Each commissioned brief has a "Legal & forms" section where you can:
- Create and complete digital talent release forms
- Upload any other important documents relating to the briefs (such as receipts, insurance forms, music licenses, etc).
You must acquire signed release forms for all talent who appear in content commissioned on Genero.
Talent releases: People in your content
Every person in your video that is recognisable needs to complete a release form.
The provided forms are digital, meaning they're easy to fill out on a computer, tablet or a mobile device with an internet connection. Your talent can sign the form in person on a computer, tablet or phone - or, you can send them a link to the digital form which they can sign at their earliest convenience.
Tip: You can fill and save release forms in advance of your shoot, so your performers can quickly read and sign on a phone or tablet on the day of the shot.
Tip: Forgot to get a signature? Send the performer a link to their form for them to complete later.
Tip: Are you the director and you also appear in your video? You need to complete a release form too.
Design, paintings, sculpture, projections or other Artwork in your video
You need permission from the copyright holder of any artwork that appears in your video. Once signed by the location owner or their legal representative, you must upload a copy of the signed form to the Legal & forms section of the brief.
Tip: this does not include custom created visuals (like animation) you or your production team have created for your video.
