I just noticed I had a placement in a tv trailer spot on BBC America. It’s a trailer for a show being aired on BBCA. Not a TV spot for a movie in theaters.
30 seconds. How much can I pretend to get for this tv spot everytime it’s being aired?
So if I summarize, no rights for advertising unless you do some weird stuff with numerator and blah blah blah
no rights for promos
survey method with ASCAP.
I had a song for the promo for American Pickers a couple years ago for their Christmas special, that was played all the time. No money for that. When I first started, I had a song on the Walking Dead first season, behind the scenes. Played for 1:03. Then I found out you don’t get any royalties for dvd’s. Yes, it sucks! How many dvd’s did that sell?!!
But afterall It might also be due to the publisher you’re working with. I’m with a big name in the industry so I “”””might”””” get something. Will tell you that in a few months…
