I went there 22 years ago when I was 12 years old and it was unbelievable. The animals are all unafraid of humans so you can get within touching distance of them. It would be the most amazing place to get stock footage that I could sell. I see SD clips of animals shot there (sealions, iguanas, finches, frigates, etc etc) selling for US$199 on stock footage sites, so I figure I can take some time out to get some footage. Problem is that the regular tours are tightly controlled (time of stay on each island, close supervision etc). Does anyone have any experience of shooting there? Does anyone know what sort of footage (types of animals etc) sells the best?</p> <p>Any thoughts on this would be massively appreciated!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Chris</p> <p> </p> <p>I shoot with Sony Z5's so I will take one of those along.Â</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/completely-free-stock-videos#post-64883 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 06:26:48 +0000 obstakl 64883@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi Guys,</p> <p>We've launched a blog site that contains free stock footages, we are uploading videos everyday..</p> <p>If you like to visit and download our clips, here is the link.</p> <p><a href="http://onlinestockvideo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://onlinestockvideo.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>Cheers! </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wwweditableclipscom-customizable-motion-graphics-library#post-59986 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:50:32 +0000 editableclips 59986@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><strong><a href="http://www.editableclips.com" title="Editableclips.com">Editableclips.com</a></strong> is motion graphics stock site and designers community. <strong><a href="http://www.editableclips.com" title="Editableclips.com">Editableclips.com</a></strong> offers a growing library of conformable motion graphics, for use in film, television, commercials, interactive web sites, and other multimedia productions. </p> <p>You can buy stock video footage with royalty-free licence by Credits.

It seems to me that they like to refuse footage based on things we as shooters have absolutly no control over. Things such as the cameras internal compression settings. I would like to hear your thoughts on this, and maybe some advice on where I may be able to upload my stuff that dosen't take 80% of my work for themselves. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/creative-control-client-or-producer#post-48225 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:36:38 +0000 NathanBlair 48225@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey there,</p> <p>I'm a little young to the business side of videography, and I've only just begun to get into contracts, rights and all that legal jargon. This is mostly because my strengths are in Cinematography, but unfortunately to make a living these days I need to put on a producer hat most of the time and... well that's not my strength at all. So I was hoping to get some feedback on a recent problem I had...</p> <p>My most recent project was a music video (still editing). From the start, I had my client sign a contract agreement regarding prices, and deadlines and whatnot. My director and I sat and talked to him for a few hours about the look and message of the video, and what he wanted to accomplish, the equipment we'd like to use... everything we could think of in order to ensure we were on the same page. We then wrote a treatment, describing in detail how the video will be edited in its finished form, and after three revisions, it was approved. We also did this with our schedule and budget, all were approved.</p> <p>After shooting the project, we edited a first cut, color corrected, and added in rough visual effects. We showed the client and he gave us a LONG list of changes, very specific ones including time code (which was helpful, I admit, but I couldn't help but feel a bit smothered). A lot of his decisions ended up entirely changing the project from its original treatment which we agreed upon.</p> <p>After having a long discussion with him, it's now become clear that he originally was looking for more of a political video than your standard rock video with performance shots... which was really the bulk of what we recorded! We're now stuck with having him send us a package of stock footage, and he's having us replace the shots that we recorded on location with shots he found in a documentary... which is kind of painful to do to work you spent hours composing in the field!</p> <p>I'm sure it's not a matter of the video quality being poor. He even said it himself that we did a fantastic job with what we shot, but he's not happy with the video's message...</p> <p>So, my fellow videomakers... I'm curious, how can this issue be avoided in the future? Was it my fault for not getting this out of him before hand? Should I be more specific in my contract about creative control? Or is this normal and I should just learn to expect it?</p> <p>Thanks</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/phoenixclipscom#post-42043 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 14:39:53 +0000 Aspyrider 42043@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> New animations, music and footage has been added to <a href="http://www.phoenixclips.com">Phoenixclips.com</a>!
