He said they wouldnt risk a 60 million dollar lawsuit when they can just pay me $20,000 for the storyboard. This is a quote from the email i had recieved from Doug. "Stephen,<br />In America, if you come up with a character, I can't just take it, <br />copyright<br />it and call it mine. Listen to me, THEY...CAN'T...TAKE...YOUR...IDEA. I <br />do<br />this for a living and I know what I'm talking about. Your signature on <br />a<br />storyboard shows that you own it."<br /><br />Im sure he knows what he's talking about. Plus i'm planning on sending in a video of my pitch becuase im un-able to visit burbank, and i can definitely put the date in that showing that its mine. I would definitely include my signature on all pages of the storyboard... Tell me what you think of that.<br /><br />Steve I had emailed Doug Tennapel about it and he said, if i have my signature on it, it shows that i own it.

Doug Tennapel may know of some quick easy judgements that went in the original artist's favour, but not all court cases work that way. Joe Simon, the co-creator of Captain America, went through decades of legal battles with Marvel Comics until he finally won his claim. If it only costs $30 to register a copyright. It's probably worth it. Creating more documention is always a good idea.

(i think thats what the copyright.gov site said) And by then, im sure all the slots would be filled. Another thing is, that when you pitch the storyboard, they'll go over parts they need clarification with, and they may ask you to revise the storyboard. On this website Melissa Wolfe said that it may take 4 or 5 times to revise and pitch until they give you the greenlight. So copyrighting it 4-5 times isnt something im too intrested becuase it'll cost more than $30, and it'll take MONTHS and MONTHS to officially get it copyright.<br /> It probably is werth it, but it would take 4-5 months to get copyright.
