I was watching this nice video posted below.

And that got me to revisit the Copy Right .Gov site. And I thought I'd just initiate the "register a claim" process via the eCO thing, even though I have nothing to register at this time. I just wanted to see how it went and if it takes you to a page where you can upload a video that you want to register or whatever.
The first step is captured by the screen grab below. And right away I'm confused.
This help page only concerns me more.
I suppose I'm being thick. But which box would the typical indie or YouTube filmmaker click for the second statement: The work being registered was created by one person?
I mean, I guess the answer is easy if you've created it entirely by yourself. But what if you had a DP, a sound recordist, Make-up, etc? I mean, if you click the "No" box, will you be spreading the copyright out among everyone who worked on the film?
