Logos and Trademarks... The bane of the Independent filmmaker.


  Most of us have experienced it, and at times have been blissfully unaware, but more often than not you're hindered by logos and trademarks in your footage. Whether interviewing someone who is wearing something with a trademark or a beautiful wide shot which is marred by a logo brandishing billboard we have all had to blur a section within a scene to avoid infringement or otherwise.

  I myself have experienced this where I filmed a band who had endorsements, but for the project their endorsements could not be shown (see above picture).

  This You Tube video (below) on the Film Courage channel, is both insightful and informative it's well worth the 6 minute and 30 second investment of time.
