Music Clearances

More than any other clearances, music clearances can hold up a production or send it over budget. Music clearances require careful planning and an understanding of the various rights involved. Do you know that each part of a song you hear on the radio has different rights controlled by different (or the same) copyright owners? You may need permission from one or multiple owners depending on the rights you need. Whether you need mechanical rights, synchronization rights, performing rights or the rights to publish the lyrics, we can help you. And, because we have contacts in the industry, we may be able to help you find a composer who can compose an original jingle or piece of music that you/your client could own for a fraction of the cost of licensing a popular tune. Alternatively, we might be able to point you to a music library or a public domain song that might meet your needs. But, If you are stuck on using the song performed by your favorite singer in your project or campaign, you may also need permission from the artist who sings the song, depending on the subject matter of your commercial or how the music is featured in your production. Let us help you navigate the world of music clearances.

Photos, Video Clips, Viral Videos, Artwork

Whether you need us to track down a viral video you saw on Youtube or Facebook, obtain a clip from your favorite television program or movie, or to identify the owner or rights in an obscure piece of video or photo, we are happy to help. We will free you from the time-consuming research required to track down the rights-holders and allow you to focus on your overall creative vision. We aim to bring your storyboard or script to life with the assets you need to make that happen. We'll deliver on time and on budget.
