Made a big boo boo :-(

In your opinion, would Quest have a problem with me showing their logo in my short movie?

Worried about film festival not accepting my video because of this shot...

Just my opinion, not a legal expert, disclaimer yadda yadda...

Festivals don't give a crap. Qwest will never see this, and if they do, they won't give a crap.

sweeet! my dumba$$ didn't even think about this issue as I was filming today... wamp!

Some festivals will care, specifically, the ones that are big enough get you recognition. We got DQ'd from a competition for having a recognizable logo on a shirt.

Shake, Nuke or AE can track that logo for a shot, then just cover it with the same yellow as the rest of the cover. I've had to do this before, looks seamless.

I didn't see any logo. If you're nervous then that can be fixed in After Effects in like 2 seconds, especially since it's a still shot.

When you cut away to the hood, it's quite visible now AE, Shake or even just your NLE should be able to cover that up relatively convincingly.

I just covered the logo with the crop bars. I fight dirty!

Perfect... done!
