CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Add visual context without making illustrative footage look like proof of a real event.

For a team with an authorized purpose, prepare optional supplemental video concepts alongside an authorized source recording for an editor to compare. Illustrative footage can be mistaken for documentary evidence and source videos may include private or copyrighted material. Confirm rights and participant consent, label reconstructions or altered scenes, preserve the original, check for misleading edits, and require an editor to approve the final footage and placement. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
