Dave, I think your animations are great, but I would think twice before
handing
over the copyright, even with their generous offer of a "credit"
You might want to see a lawyer for clarification, but here's my two cents...
1. LEGO is a big company, they pay marketing companies BIG dollars to
successfully
launch their products.
2. The SIGMA agency should already have a website.
3. If you do this kind of thing for a living, SOME compensation is
necessary, but
the free publicity can't hurt.
4. If you become too much bother, they will ask someone else.
There, that's confusing isn't it? Ask for some compensation, even if it's
LOTS of LEGO. I hear SIGMA has an inside track....
