Re: Starting out in Special Interest Videos -getting permissions

If you approach them professionally, most companies will not only
give you permission, Craig, but you'll also find that you can
obtain free equipment or software from them to feature in your
Special Interest Video. It varies from company to company, of
course, but remember -your inclusion of their product or service
in your program is pretty much free advertising for them.
Put together a good request letter, telling them what you're going
to be doing, how (briefly) you'll do it, your qualifications, and
explain how you're going to promote your SIV, along with some
sales projections (be realistic, here!)
I think there's an article I wrote on common mistakes SIV producers
make here on Video U. Worth reading if you're thinking about
makin' your own.
Good luck!
