Advice: Say thank-you and Invoice them (ie send them a bill). Send it via registered mail. Include a CD of the broadcast as evidence of usage. Send a reminder notice after 30-days, with a phone directly to the station manager. And if not paid after 90-days, take them to small claims court. Likely they will settle prior to the court date. Keep professional attitude and be open to a settlement. Do this well, make it a win-win, and you will gain a regular client, a customer. They are a news organization and need footage. The also have a budget for news gathering. You have stock footage and have invested the time, effort, cost to get it. Your collected library has grown to become a resource in visualizing a number of local stories. It's a competitive advantage that they have timely and cost effective access to relevant visuals. Payment, however small, will offset the continuing cost of your work. At the very least, as a regular supplier they will invite you to their Christmas Party.
Keep up the good work. -- Albert Peres afpe...@3129.ca 416.660.0847 cell ---- ---- Caught red handed? Upto 15 pics and video clips used..
