If you read any of the sizeable copyright thread that has been floating around the top of this forum, you'll have a little background on my current situation. To summarize, I shot a fashion show for a very high end art hotel and ultimately set it to some decent royalty free music. They liked it and had me come back to shoot their ice bar and the kitchen of the restaurant for a couple of little 2-3 min clips for their website or whatever.
Well, now they put the vids on HOLD and the GM dished me off to one of their marketing people who called me today. She said that the Today show was doing a piece on "cosmopolitan art hotels" and she wanted to send them footage of the hotel to be included. She asked what I would charge for the footage and I had to tell her I'd get back to her. Sorry for the OT, but you guys are the only ones I can count on for advice (other sites I've found seem a little amateurish).
My questions are:
Does anyone have any similar experience?
How much should I charge?
Should I settle up on the original agreements before discussing selling the footage?
