Is it just me that gets location releases? we have release forms that the owner of the venue signs to say that he has allowed us to shoot in the venue and that he has no rights to the content.
The problems with Melissa Midwet would never occur if she did it this way. Why people dont just hire the venue out in the day when it is shut and get a location release (similar a model release but legal proof that the venue gave you permission to shoot) I dont know.
