Use of News Reel

I wanted to use some film footage from the news channel SABC in South Africa on a dance group I have filmed in Cape Town, while they were very helpful and located the footage which is 4 years old they sent me the licence fees which are mega not only that they wanted me to tell them what licence I wanted or for what time period for usage - but my idea is to sell the film to benefit the dancers so after the time period for the usage of the clip lapses who pays for it?

  • You are the producer, you pay the licence fee.

    That said, all fees are a negotiation and if you find the right person and they like your plan, they might be reduced/waived. Or not. Their choice.
