    I want to hire an illustrator to help me create a series of short animated videos for online viewing. I want him to keep all of the ownership rights in regard to his illustrations, but I want the rights to the sound and animation parts of the project that I create. In other words the video portion.

    Is this sort of agreement common? Would you illustrators be open to this or would you consider it a work-for-hire project?

    I'm an illustrator & have done animated TV commercials.
    I drew pics, they animated them & we have a licence agreement
    for the length of time ads will run for. Any longer & we renegotiate.
    Ownership of the drawings isn't an issue & I can use ads
    for promo & on my website.
    Does this help?
