Production notes
Choosing music for client work means thinking about the handoff
An advert, game and editable project do not hand over the same assets. Thinking about the final delivery helps make permission checks and production records more precise.
Commercial describes many different uses
An advert, app and event film may all be commercial, but they do not publish or deliver the same assets. Write down where the music plays and who receives which files.
Deciding whether delivery includes only the finished work or an editable project helps surface permission questions before the final handoff.
The finished work and the original recording
Kominami's license distinguishes background use inside a work from resale or redistribution of the recording itself. Permission for a completed video should not automatically be read as permission to pass on the source track.
If a delivery format is unclear, describe the intended use and files when asking for clarification. Production notes make that conversation more specific.
The handoff note helps the next editor
Keep the title, track URL, acquisition date, license reference and usage location together. A publication or deliverable name can help later revisions find the correct version.
This is a record of the team's decision, not a substitute for a contract or legal assessment. Store private client details within the appropriate internal sharing scope rather than putting them in public credits.
