Re: Footage Rights

Thank you David and everyone else for your quick responses.

To answer your questions.

I have not asked the coach anything yet. I was going to bounce this off of professionals (i.e. you guys) before I brought it up to anyone else. The same goes for the principal and the superintendent.

The players jerseys are generic green and white with no names on the jerseys. The helmet has the logo of an Indian that has been used by the school for years. Nowhere on the jersey or the helmet does it identify the school directly.

The players all wear numbers, but like I said, they do not wear names. I shoot the game with no sound, so there's no way to link the players numbers with specific names unless you take the time to look up the roster (that's even if you recognize the team by the logo).

The players faces are absolutely hidden by their helmets and facemasks. There is no way to tell who they are by facial recognition.

Another grey area in this whole equation is the opposing team(s) in these shots.

Best,

Aaron
