Frequently Asked Questions

A video release covers additional elements: voice recording, performance rights, and audio. Photos capture a moment; video captures voice, movement, and potentially statements that can be quoted. Your release needs to address all of these. Also, video distribution is typically broader (YouTube, streaming, broadcast) which should be specified.

Absolutely. Interview subjects should sign a release covering their statements, likeness, and voice. Without it, they could demand their interview be removed after publication. This is especially important for documentary work or corporate testimonials where the content has significant value.

If the release is worded as irrevocable (standard language), they generally can't. But in practice, if someone demands removal and you ignore it, you may face a lawsuit even if you'd win. For employees or brand ambassadors, consider including a termination clause that kicks in after a notice period.
