So I'm in negotiations right now with the Gumball folks, which sucks because it means I have to cancel my plans today to stay on top of this. On the entry form (which I haven't signed yet on account of this), you have to agree to hand over all your footage to them, and that you can't use anything commercially… So I have to get special filming permission rights before I can confirm totally. (Since I want to both broadcast live, and then distribute the footage as I see fit).
I'd assumed it was totally OK, since obviously MTV covered it, and so did Tekademics for Mischief 3000, although Tekademics apparently is in major legal hotwater for doing it without permission (which is about the last thing I need). So now I have to convince them that it's in their best interests to have me in the race. They seem excited in general about the concept I'm pitching them, but we'll see… Fingers crossed…
