Hi everyone
Had my P4P for some months now and love it of course. Cant believe the accuracy and breadth of technology in the craft. I have completed the CASA RePL license.
Many moons ago I use to specialise in aerial photography, travelling all over northern Australia and PNG as part of a three man crew photographing for the Dept of National Mapping Australia (at 25,000' on oxygen masks) for topographical mapping and the business and environment sectors from 500' up. Use to love that job too. Then I moved into cinematography shooting docos and so on. Full circle now being back with aerial photography.
How things have changed. I dig it bigtime.
But I have a problem - disgruntled neighbour... I am honing my skills on a real estate project. Filmed a friends house (it's for sale) and have by necessity got the next door neighbours place in shot on several scenes. I have never sought to concentrate on his property. This is in a rural setting in the SW - rolling hills, open paces and in places, lots of trees. All shot from above 30 meters.
He was furious and jumped into a particular sequence I was filming (well away from his property) and demanded I not film his place. If anything, he has invaded my space!
I had no intention of highlighting his place, there are just a few shots with the perimeter of his place on left or right of the frame. My only intention was to show the sellers property in relationship to adjoining properties and the broader topographical region.
My seller friend has now insisted I somehow delete the offended one's visual reference. I will do it but am not happy. In deleting shots I have spent time rehearsing and executing for artistic purposes, the value of my aerial cinematography is degraded.
Does anyone in Oz know what the legal rules are in this case. Was told CASA says OK but if said bruised one goes to YouTube crying personal privacy infringement I've been told they will probably delete my program so I would still have a problem with getting the program on for sale.
So a big question is - how far do might rights extend to developing by business (and artistry) in a fair manner against his wishes to interfere with my business development...assuming he is not doing anything illegal within his property, such as developing a chalet/cottage for rental that the shire haven't been told about??
Any advice is appreciated.
Thx flightline
