Does anyone on this board know how to get in contact with the videographer who captured the now famous footage of the lions vs. buffs vs. croc. I am a media agent and would just like to let him know he does have compensatory rights as the "producer" of that footage. Today it was featured on AOL as some of the best animal vids of 2007. It's everywhere! I'd like to explain to him how perhaps he can benefit monetarily from some quite spectacular footage. In the caption on AOL it was described as two alligators, so it's obvious to me that he hasn't copyrighted the footage which could greatly benefit him. Just throwing it out there for anyone who might know the videographer. He can contact me directly. Thanks, Moja

I wasn't aware of it until you posted here. That's interesting and unusual footage. That lion got tossed pretty good.

You know, in the end, the croc always wins.

How, do you go ahead and copyright footage ?
Is it as simple as saying copyright @ 2007 at the end of the movie clip or not ?

One website says this:
