When Rights go Wrong

A salutory lesson on what to expect if you use a copyright asset without a license
(intended or not).

Do you imagine you payment of a 'reasonable fee' to a claimant will compensate?
Or perhaps you think a published dislaimer is a good idea?

1984 - year of Zooid Motion - 25th Anniversary

25 years ago, Zooid Pictures was founded as a film and TV production company.
After 15 years we ceased production to concentrate on picture research & licensing and spearheaded digital asset management in the UK.

5 years ago we added unique footage research & licensing services, and revolutionised producer freedom to view and select video online, regardless of (analogue) source.

Today, we expand that service to include production and post production. This means that we will now shoot and edit video to your specification, just as we do for photos and illustration.
