I am an employee at a Fortune 100 company. I went around the world
shooting video of our employees at work. Legal insists I get releases
from everyone in the video. Others say if they are employees you
don't need a release.

The video is for B2B and will be shown sometimes to a few clients, and
sometimes at Trade Shows. It is not retail.

Anyone had experience with this? The problem with getting releases is
twofold:

One - shooting around the world, there are a lot of people in the
shots - its a hassle.
Two - Typical of large corporate video with executive involvement -
gets delayed a lot. I can get releases, edit changes, wait, etc...it
is 4-5 months - and by the time people have quit! So do I need to
edit them out, etc..?

thanks ahead of time anyone with advice.
