French term or phrase: images detournees
I'm translating a meeting agenda for a video game company and the first line says: "Intro video: images detournees" de X (name of person)." Does anyone know what "images detournees" means?
Thanks, Karen

Explanation:
The translation agency found out what the term "images detournees" refers to. The video game company showed a film in which its major characters had been altered: different heads, bizarre costumes, atypical behavior, etc. I'm waiting to hear what term they ended up using, but maybe something like "altered images" would work.
Thanks to everyone for their input. Karen

Explanation:
Hard to tell with just the "title" of the meeting adjenda but it sounds to me that they are addressing a copywrite issue concerning their images. I'ld call the client for clearification.

Explanation:
This term is definitely used to decribe images or pictures used without the consent of the person in the pictures, or images. The use of such images/pictures is therefore usually violating copyright laws.
