John, PMFJI, but do you or anyone here have a good generic release form that they could upload somewhere? Or know any examples around here? I'd at least like to see what others are using. BTW, getting a business's storefront in a shot sure seems to help. A store owner turned out to be our best "man in the street" clip on a recent shoot! Regards, Nate Wahl Emerald Video

Nathan, I seem to recall a generic model release form printed in a "VideoMaker" magazine article sometime ago. I'll have to go looking. If I come up with it, I'll let you know. Regards, John Chang
