They found me through Instagram since my timelapse went viral on reels (20M+ views on IG/Tiktok combined)
They want to use it for a documentary
The term they mentioned is “For initial exhibition in our CNN program worldwide, in perpetuity, via all forms of media in any manner that the program is exhibited”
The timelapse was taken at the top of a volcano of another volcano erupting over the course of a few hours, so not easily replicable.
Shot on Canon R5, so 8K resolution

This is my first time potentially licensing footage so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

FAQ

Submission Statements

If submitting a film, trailer, or other creative content, you must select the "FILM" flair and include a submission statement (a comment on your post) elaborating on the following:

If you are seeking advice or feedback, explain what it is you need help with, whether that's lighting, cinematography, audio, editing, or something else entirely. There are many aspects to filmmaking, so specifying what you want people to focus on will get you better results than simply asking for general feedback. It may also help if you provide some of your own thoughts on your work, such as what you see as your strengths or areas of improvement and why.

If sharing your work and not seeking advice, your post must serve an educational purpose for the rest of the community. Outline your involvement in the project and provide some insight on how it was made. For example, you can detail lighting setups, explain how a particularly complex shot was achieved, or go over any setbacks that hit production and what you did to overcome them.

All submission statements must be at least 100 characters in length and be submitted within 30 minutes of submitting your post. Please remember that simply posting your film or page for views or subscriptions is not allowed.
