Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California

Hello.. I need help checking a section of an agreement, if there are any loop-holes in it. In the below section paragraph 1, it is important that all grants for video, sound and still photography shot of Artist by Producer, is ONLY valid for material of this sort recorded between the mentioned dates. NO grants can be given to material recorded of Artist by Producer outside those dates, or for any material recorded by someone other than Producer at any time. Is this clear and defined in this draft? Or is it possible to ad a small text to make it clearer?

1. Appearance Release: For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Artist hereby irrevocably grants to Producer, including its assignees, successors, and licensees, all rights in and to the videotape and sound recording made of Artist by Producer while in [the name of a village] from June 18, 2014 to July 20, 2014 , for use in or in connection with the program referenced above (�Program�). The rights granted to Producer include the right to distribute, telecast, edit and otherwise exhibit and use such videotape or sound recording(s), as well as Artists name, voice, likeness, appearances, photograph(s), videotape, film clip(s), motion picture, news and/or television footage (including any bloopers or outtakes) featuring Artist, sound recordings, written and non-photographic materials of Artist or editorial comments concerning Artist (collectively referred to as �Recordings�), worldwide, in perpetuity, in all media whether now or hereafter known, and in connection with the marketing, advertising, promotion, publicity and other exploitation of the foregoing or the programming service on which the Program is exhibited.*
