RE: [AV Media Matters] What to charge for use of footage

[judyjones@csus.edu]

We have raw TV news footage out-takes with "rights."  We charge $45 per hour
for research (finding, splicing onto reels, making a "dirty" VHS copy and
shipping to requestor. We charge $22 per second for all footage actually
used in the making of said production.  We also charge all costs of shipping
to a lab for transfer to format of requestor's choosing.  Requestor pays all
costs of transfer.
