Animation Project Planning: A Dragon’s First Flight: Asset List & Legal Requirements


The final part of the planning was to create an list of assets to be sourced and an explanation of the legal minefield that I would face in producing a animation and what protections copyright law affords me.

Asset List

  • Voice over
  • Vector Graphic from Pixabay
  • Creation of my own backgrounds for each scene using Adobe Illustrator
  • Blog
  • PowerPoint planning
  • Narrative
  • Code for Action Script 3
  • References for planning and production of the animation can be found on my references.docx file

Legal

To ensure my Animation is legally sound and safe to create and share I will:

  • ensure all images and vector graphics I use within the animation are fully licensable and I have given credit where necessary
  • the voice over narration I produce will be voiced by myself or friends that I will get written permission off to use their voice in my work

To again ensure I keep my work legally sound I will not;

  • use any images I do not hold a licence for or are copyright protected
  • add music or voices from existing media that I have not obtained explicit permission to use or have gained a licence to use

In the United Kingdom when you create a piece of work it automatically get copy right protection.

To further protect my Animation from unauthorised use I will:

  • use the copyright symbol followed by my name and the year (year of creation) to let people know that my work is protected.
  • keep records of the production of the animation including this presentation, the storyboard and the blog of my production.
  • If I feel the need I will register my work at my nearest copyright office.
