"And by the way: this is coming from the guy who shot a little film called “Reverie” and did it “for free.” Canon did not pay me - or fund anything. It was something that I did on my own. I spent my own money to fund the production - and reeped great professional benefit from it. It was a big win for me and my career - no question about it. I own the work and copyright OUTRIGHT and made that clear.
BUT - when Canon asked to use the video after I produced it. I made sure they paid. And they paid well. A lot more than I would have made had I been commissioned to do the project in the first place. That’s the important part here."
