Q: Can I use a royalty free
song?
A: Yes and no. You
can use public domain lyrics and record a new version with
your own instrumentation but you can
only use a song that you can prove you have the rights to.
Best bet is to just get a local artist or have us assign you
a song at the kickoff. There are wonderful
Musicians here in Springfield to choose from so just do thatJ
Q: What if I can’t find a band?
A: Well, for this competition we are providing 1 of 2
options for you.
Either bring your own song that you
have the rights too or you can be assigned a song by us
from our pool of local artists.
Q: Are we giving up rights to
our song and video?
A: Not at all.
However, you will be required to sign a release allowing The Rock On
Music Video Competition and Untapped Productions to use all
media contributed
In any fashion we see fit. You will still retain all your own distribution rights but
so
will we.
Q: Do we need to put a title on
the front of the song like they do on MTV?
A: No.
Absolutely no text unless it’s part of the video will be permitted
On the videos. We will get that information from you and put it on each
video ourselves.
This is to ensure uniformity in font size, type, and sizing.
Q: In what format will we turn
in?
A: One copy on DVD with Video_ts
and Audio_ts files present and one copy on DATA DVD
In either AVI, QUICKTIME, or MPEG
format. This is for providing the
highest
Quality DVD of all the videos.
