WCTV Forms



Below is a list of the forms members will need.. Click on each link to access the forms


Agreement with Policies

Is submitted when you first join and each year upon renewal. This is WCTV’s way of ensuring that a member understands and complies with our Policies. When new policies are adopted, members will receive a notice. Members are required to have a current form on file to retain active membership and borrow equipment.



Talent Release Form

Every person is entitled to his or her privacy. A producer is entitled to his or her rights of free speech and _expression. If however, before videotaping, a person tells you that you may not use them in your video, you cannot do so. If you do so without that person’s permission, this person may have the right to bring a lawsuit against you as the producer. Some courts have found in favor of persons videotaped “against their will.” A talent release form is a method of obtaining permission to use the person’s “likeness” in your video and may protect you against potential legal action. Also, if the person you are taping is under the age of 18, you are required to obtain their parents’ or guardians’ signature. Persons that you videotape are required to sign this form. When you submit your videotape to us with our required signed Talent Release form, you are confirming that you obtained the required permissions from persons who appear in your program prior to submitting your tape for cablecast.


Location Release Form

For events including large groups of people, such as concerts, meetings, etc., it may be difficult to obtain individual “Talent Release” forms. A “Location Release Form” signed by the person responsible for the performance or event is a method of obtaining permission to videotape on the premises. If you are videotaping a program and including recognizable individuals, you will need to obtain the proper permissions from persons in your program as well as have the “Location Release Form” signed.


Equipment Checkout Form

Required for signing out any of WCTV’s portable equipment. A staff member will assist you with putting together the equipment you need and signing it out. Both the member who requests the equipment and a staff person are required to sign this form when the equipment is taken out or returned


Cablecast Request Form

There are two different forms used - The general “Cablecast Request Form” is used for programs produced “in house” or at WCTV. The “Import Program Form” is required for a program that is not produced at WCTV. (Programs submitted without this signed paperwork will not be cablecast until the form is completed.)


Program Proposal Form


Before a member submits a program, the idea should be approved by the Executive Director. This form is a way to let the WCTV know what your project is, and how and when it is going to be produced.


Equipment Repair Form

Occasionally, equipment may malfunction. In order to keep equipment working properly, members are asked to fill out this form to inform the staff of equipment problems and have equipment repaired in a timely manner.


Studio/Facilities Request Form

When you choose to produce an “in studio” show, you are required to fill out a form to reserve the studio prior to planning your production and a staff member will talk to you about available time on the studio schedule. Members who choose to produce a program in the studio are required take the Studio Production class. We recommend a “refresher” course for members who have not used the studio facilities for some time. Staff may assist in the production but the producer is responsible for arranging for production crew


Log Sheet

One of the most time-consuming parts of editing is scrolling through your tapes to choose video. By reviewing your videotapes before you begin editing and “logging” your footage, you will save time when producing your final tape. We recommend using log sheets to help you locate and select footage during your final editing session
