You should get a representative to contact them for you.
Re: copy righted material
You can contact the copyright owners directly, with a written explanation of what you plan to do, and ask for permission and/or a license.
If the video in question features actors, etc., there are also a number of issues with unions, etc. that you'll need to iron out.
You should probably contact an experienced entertainment lawyer for advice before contacting rights holders.
Invest a few hundred dollars in a consultation with a professional, get some good advice, and then evalauate your next step.
