For all those shooting content, and you have not chatted with an attorney about model releases and proper 2257 documentation (including some cross-referncing), please do so. people who shoot content are primary recordkeepers and have some serious responsibilities to be aware of, ones that could land you in jail for 5 years if you fail to follow the law.
another play-at-home-game.
You are shooting your own content. You are filming a model in a "sexually explicit video" that you shot last week. Which of the following answers applies to you?
a) what's a model release?
b) what's 2257?
c) what does "sexually explicit" mean"
d) since i filmed her last week and got a model release, i don't need to do anything for this shoot.
e) the model that i am shooting is a MILF, everyone knows she's over 18, so no need for any 2257 paperwork.
f) have the model(s) fill out a new model release and documentation on the shoot (date, time, location, title, model aliases, description, etc), even though i just shot the model last week.
the correct answer is (f).. for how f*cked you will be if you don't do this step each and every time you shoot.
Fight the pop quiz!
