Crew Release Form (Document template)

The crew release is a simple form to be signed by all crew where a formal contract has not been drawn up.

This specific template states who you and the client are as well as the production you are working on. It allows you to use footage of any crew who may appear on camera. It also allows you to use their “performance” which in this case would be the work they are carrying out for the production. Most importantly however it states that crew are not due any residual payments on future usage or distribution of the product therefore they are on a fixed one-off fee.

Look for pointers on the document template page and please help spread the word by letting people know where you got it from.
