- Motto: "Bring back mst3k on kickstarter!"
So for the past few years, a friend of mine and I have been wanting to start our own fan created show and post it on youtube. We're both animators with 3D programs and lots of free time. We were going to do a full half hour show with voice cast and everything, until last week, when I came up with a new idea. One that didn't involve hiring actors for the show, and that could keep our character roster pretty low, that way we can animate quicker. Well the idea consists of using music to tell the story, and having the videos be as long as the songs. All of this is good, and we can do ourselves, but I need info on laws about copyrights.
We don't plan on making money of of this, it's just for fun. And there are many you tube channels that use copyright names and are completely safe, such as, "how it should've ended" and "honest trailers".
So I was wondering if some one can help explain how the laws work on this subject. I'm a teen, and my friends in his early twenties, and we'd really prefer it if has bro didn't sue us with its full legal might.(-;
We will be using the main transformers, Optimus prime, megatron, starscream, ect. And well known music. So please help us out. And we'll maybe give you a shout out in our credits when the show is made. Also, it'll be a few years, we both need to finish school, get better computers, and actually create this thing. Lol
