Here's the contest page, for a reference:
http://www.ifc.com/media-lab/assassins-creed-2/about.php
I have a short planned w/ 2 parts: part 1 is filmed in the Venice canals (ie all public property); part 2 is a chase scene, filming locations include a parking garage, Little Tokyo rooftops, and a sidewalk on Loyola Marymount property, with one shot that features a 10' X 30' wall mural that's on the side of a building (ie CLEARLY visible from the street).
My crew is me + 2, and only for the canals section is there a boom mic, no tripod anywhere.
My question regards permits related to ELIGIBILITY for the contest. The winning film will air on IFC so I guess it's about exhibition rights. I know I need written permission to film on the rooftops, since it's private property, but ASSUMING I get the shots I need -- without the release waivers -- could I still be ineligible?
There are no unique or identifiable features on any of these locations, with the exception of the giant walll mural (itself is a mural of the Venice canals).
Note: I mentioned crew size and tripod/boom use because I read somewhere that you ONLY need a permit to shoot on public property if you have a crew of 3 or more and you use a boom or tripod. Is this true?
Sorry for the length but I want to be clear -- I feel my film has an awesome shot and I want to make sure I'm eligible - thanks for any help!!
