EZ Prop Labels

So you could not clinch that product placement deal and need a quick fix to avoid copyright issues with brand names? A resourceful and helpful filmmaker over at Flickr.com created and posted a variety of labels that can be printed out and placed over the brand name labels. They are all very good, bearing a remarkable resemblance to the brand.

To use these pictures, just print them out on some nice photo paper, cut them out and glue them onto labels of the brand name items you are using as props.

Here is a sampling from his list of prop labels:

• Iced tea bottle
• Candy
• Pancake mix
• Books
• Pumpkin Preserve (Who wouldn't need that?)

By the way, if you do an advanced search in Flickr, you can sort by those pictures and elements which are under the Creative Commons license. These photos are cleared under the Creative Commons license and are free to be used in your productions. Be sure to read the fine print and credit the artist accordingly. I use these types of resources on my productions all the time.
