A:
Incorporating Phasmophobia gameplay into your short horror film can be a tricky area due to copyright concerns. The game’s content, including its visuals and audio, is protected by copyright laws. Using gameplay footage without permission from the developers can lead to legal issues, even if it's for a creative project like a short film.
To proceed legally, you should seek permission from the game’s developers or publisher. They might have specific guidelines or licensing agreements for using their content in other media. Some game companies are open to this type of collaboration, especially if it promotes their game, but it’s important to get explicit consent.
If obtaining permission is not feasible, you might consider creating similar gameplay footage using your own assets or finding royalty-free alternatives. This way, you can achieve your creative vision without infringing on any copyrights. Consulting with a legal professional can provide further insights tailored to your specific project.
