I shoot screeds of video in public places (at present shooting the upgrading of the Newmarket Station) and have never asked anyone, I have never had anyone ask me what I was doing (apart from curiosity) and have made DVDs, for limited sale, of what I have done and not a word from a soul. I do not think that anyone will challenge you for shooting in a public place and I certainly can't understand why anyone would. I would question the authority of anyone who challenged me, but I don't think that would occur. Just go and do it. Meet the challenge when and if it happens.	Roscoe (6288)

I had to check this in wgtn about 3 years ago for making a short film..... the city council simply said , dont damage anything and dont get in the way of locals who want to use the park, dont block traffic, have fun. you best be asking , but i dont expect you to have any problems.	robsonde (120)

650686	2008-03-20 03:02:00	It pays to ask the council to make sure. If you watched Fair Go Last Night (tvnz.co.nz), an artist made some public sculptures which are allowed to be sketched , photographed etc. BUT Hallensteins used pictures of his sculptures on T-Shirts which they sold, and now they are being sued for copy right. The punch line is "Being SOLD" If i wanted to film at a public park and i was going to sell the film	wainuitech (129)
