CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring a still image to life without misrepresenting a person or the original scene.

For work involving cleared still images, proposed motion, and short video drafts, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare a short video concept from an image the requester has permission to use for a defined purpose. Motion can imply actions or events that never happened, and an image may identify a person or contain protected work. Obtain subject consent and usage rights, label realistic alterations where appropriate, inspect for unsafe or misleading details, and require the creator or rights owner to approve the complete clip before release.

Keep in mind

Motion can imply actions or events that never happened, and an image may identify a person or contain protected work. Obtain subject consent and usage rights, label realistic alterations where appropriate, inspect for unsafe or misleading details, and require the creator or rights owner to approve the complete clip before release.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document rights, consent, and attribution

Track licenses, subject permissions, commercial scope, and permitted channels.

Set rules for realistic or altered media

Decide when edits need a clear label and prohibit unauthorized likenesses or endorsements.

Restrict drafts and source files

Limit access and remove unnecessary intermediate copies when the approved purpose ends.

Keep release with the creative owner

Require a named person to approve each asset, caption, audience, and destination.

Keep exploring
