GEN:Another interesting copyright question

[Cheryl Sturgeon <csturgeo@OHIO.NET>]

I am taking a trip through Scandinavia in July for which I will receive
graduate credit.  I must keep a journal a create a lesson or project at the
completion.  I have planned to make a video tape which I just bought editing
equipment for and now it occurs to me that my idea may violate copyright.  I
am aware that I may ask the publisher's permission but I am not sure who to
ask.

My plan is to take Linnea (the doll) from the well-known "Linnea in Monet's
Garden", "Linnea's Almanac" with me and tape her visiting the various sites
and my narration may be in her voice.  The dolls are produced by Determined
Productions in San Francisco.

My question is do I need permission to use the dolls in my production from
Determined ?  And are the books at all involved in this issue ?
