Greetings-One of my Super 8 filmclips from 1973 got picked up for use in a television commercial. It's just pedestrian footage of a woman dressed in blue dancing around with her young daughter sitting on a kitchen table and laughing along.
I will receive the royalty statement in a couple of days. I believe in the beginning the stock footage house told me that footage licensed for television commercials is a different pay structure than other types of licensing; it's more lucrative.
Someone told me I earned $50,000.00 for licensing usage of this clip. My original contract says I receive 30% of all revenues. Any guesstimates from anyone? I'm going crazy.
Thank you!
