I've been contacted by an ad agency that wants to use about a minute of footage I posted on Vimeo. The agency is promoting a book by a journalist who works for a major American newspaper. The agency seems fairly small, based in Europe. It's not William Morris or anyone like that. They say they are working under deadline and want to know what I would like as compensation for using the footage.

I suppose I should run this by an entertainment lawyer. But as I don't have one, I thought I might try here first. Is there any thing that springs to mind that I should do -- or avoid -- to protect myself?

I will keep in mind that most respondents here are not lawyers, nor do they play one on TV...

Any thoughts appreciated!
 
You should get a lawyer. Do not fall for the trap of hearing advice that sounds good and then think that you've been lucky to avoid paying a lawyer. That's a dangerous game to play.
