    I emailed them both back asking for more detail of what they had in mind. Very soon after the chiwayentertainment contact emailed me back saying that she would like to send me a contract to review. She claimed they are the largest media licensing company in the world. She says I would keep ownership for personal use and YouTube and they would market it for television/internet use elsewhere. She offered to send me a contract that would give me a 60/40 split of any proceeds.

    I really don't see what I have to lose. I can't see that video generating THAT much interest/revenue. And a few bucks for something that basically holds no value to me as it stands is more than nothing. *dunno*

  3. Start putting food out for those rabbits, damn it. And keep your camera close by.

    I actually hate them, at any given time I can look out and usually see at least 2 in my yard. They crap all over and eat my landscaping. They are not scared of Stanley because they know he flat out ignores them. If I didn't have houses behind me I'd be eating rabbit stew regularly.


    But this might half make up for it. :p


    I called the company that responded to me quickest. She is going to send me a contract to review. She said she thinks it is a saleable video. Her estimate (I'm guessing an optimistic one) was that she could probably get it picked up by 2-3 different companies for various uses, and that it would sell for between $100-600 each time. So her estimate was that it would generate $300-1800, of which I'd get 60%.

    Like I said earlier, it'd be cool if it makes me something, but I don't expect it to be much, if anything.

    I'll probably do it.

    It's done. I signed the agreement and sent them the raw footage. I figured that I have very little to lose, and I really can't see that video generating enough revenue to really fight over percentages or play one company off of another. A quick Google search told me that this company is legit and has paid out to people when the videos are sold, so that's good enough for me.

    i am afraid to go to a friend's birthday party that's happening right now because i am thinking nothing will follow except a hangover tomorrow when i really really don't want one.
    at the same time, i have cracked open a second bottle of wine and still haven't eaten anything.

    on the other hand, my apartment is really really clean.

    thing is that i have a lot of friends whom i really like at this party.
    if i stay here, i have a modicum of self-control.
    that means i'm leaving in a few minutes.

    Watched the Panama Canal one after that from the sidebar recommending videos. I have the VHS tape "Animaniacs singalong mostly in Toon" or something close to that which has both of those songs on it.

    Damn, went to the pub and it seemed kind of lame at first. Miller Lite promo. Then a couple of friends showed up. We had a good time. Now, chilling at home with some TNG and Canadian Mist. Nerd on.
