Choose the consequence

A creative-rights decision story.

Make four ordinary production choices. Watch operational consequences accumulate. There is no universal “correct” contract—only tradeoffs that become easier to manage when they are explicit.

Decision 1 of 4

The brief arrives

A brand asks for a campaign in ten days. The scope lists three videos, but says nothing about revisions, source files or reuse.

Use the friction

Questions to carry into the real agreement.

  • What exactly is delivered—and what remains a production dependency?
  • Who can edit, adapt, license, distribute or archive the work?
  • How do duration, territory, channels and paid amplification change the fee?
  • What requires separate consent, disclosure or third-party clearance?
