Rights and participation.
Permissions, creative approvals, credits and commercial participation form part of the project brief.
Agreed for the project.
- Identify the underlying work and relevant rights-holders before agreeing the intended adaptation or development use.
- Address recorded performances, voices, likenesses, music and other contributions where relevant.
- Keep writer authorship, creative approvals, credits and contributor compensation connected to the work.
- Agree fees and any applicable royalties, residuals or negotiated revenue participation for the specific use.
- Consider applicable union and guild requirements for the jurisdiction, production and agreements involved.

Published union and guild guidance informs the approach. These sources are independent guidance, not endorsements of AJENTO. This profile does not establish that a specific project is cleared or that a particular payment entitlement applies.
The commercial agreement.
Scope, creative approvals, permitted uses, fees and any applicable royalties, residuals or negotiated participation are considered together. An initial enquiry does not replace these agreements.
