We are currently producing a segment entitled "How to defuse a bomb," in which we compare and contrast how bombs are defused in real life and in the movies, and a segment entitled "World's most dangerous fish" in which we compare the giant snakehead to other fish that are capable of killing humans. I am writing to see if any Videomaker members might have the following footage available to license to us:</p> <p>Giant snakeheads in the wild, underwater, "walking" on land, fighting while being pulled into a boat by fishermen, close-ups showing its scary teeth, etc. Basically we are looking for anything that visually tells the story of how nasty the giant snakehead really is.</p> <p>Close-up views of guy in bomb squad suit working on bomb by hand, people using remote controls to operate bomb robots, bomb robot using robotic arm to defuse/shoot/blow up bomb, bombs being blown up, either in open or in containment barrels, and any other footage with lots of gadgets or gizmos used to defuse a bomb, and people using them. We are of course prepared to pay a reasonable fee to license the footage (usually around $20 per second of footage actually used in the show.) Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, and as we are on deadline for the end of this week (Friday June 6tth) I would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience!

Some songs will be only acting and others will be someone singing in place of the original artist. I'm trying to find out how the process works in getting permission to use the songs in a video (I'm thinking a sync license) and permission on using the song but with someone else singing it. Any info helps and is greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
