I'm creating an animation/still image: Think kids watching TV with their babysitter.
She is showing them Spiderman1.
I grabbed the trailer and displayed it on the screen and when I play it back, it looks great, sounds great, though I tilted the screen enough so you can hardly see anything.
It does light up their faces with explosions etc. which is really great.

This is for a book I'm writing, so I wont be selling the video or image, but it is promotional material.
Am i stepping on Columbia's or Sony's toes?

Further, let's say it infringes on their copyright. I don't really want to do that. If I create a spiderman model and show him swinging across a cityscape that I animate, is that still infringment?

Thanks!
