Glad to have found your video, I was wondering if all the camera gear you have and travel costs to many countries all came from selling footage?
@BlokhinFilms3 ай бұрын
At the beginning, it was from stock photos. But, more recently, we are earning more from stock videos. So, yes, from stock photos + footage.

Nice video thank you for sharing. I like your idea of shooting stock footage on an open bus tour. I have a Sony fx6. I can use gyro stabilisation. Do you think that would be a good substitute to a gimbal or monopod on the bus?
@BlokhinFilms11 ай бұрын
I have not tried gyro, but I saw that people achieve results similar to gimbal. I think it may work. On a bus, the issues are fast acceleration, sudden deceleration and abrupt turns. If gyro can handle these movements, then yes!

Good video. I recently decided to be exclusive with Pond5 which also has it where you can submit to Shutterstock as well. I working on getting all my content on their sites right now. I have plenty of videos to go through to process. My questions to you is what camera gear do you use? And do you plan your shoots regarding time lapses?
@BlokhinFilms11 ай бұрын
Yes, I saw how Pond5 and Shutterstock are integrating together. It may make sense for certain group of contributors to go exclusive with them. We shoot all our videos, including timelapses, with Nikon D850. For now, it works. We may invest in mirrorless, but not now. We do sometimes plan for timelapses, especially when going to a certain location. But, most of the time we do not. We travel often and you never know when an opportunity presents itself.

For filming famous monuments or landscapes, would it require a property release form?
@BlokhinFilms6 ай бұрын
It depends. If it is art such as monuments, then only an editorial license is possible. If it's nature/landscape, then no, no need for property release.

@@BlokhinFilms I have been looking at Sony but was worried that the 4k crop factor in their cameras might not be a good thing for stock footage? I don't know? I'm inexperienced in this part. That's why your advice would be much appreciated!
@BlokhinFilms3 ай бұрын
I do not worry too much about these details. The best camera is the one you have. Full frame cameras of any major manufacturer (Nikon, Sony or Canon) will work extremely well for stock footage. Of course, there are some nuances here and there, but it is largely irrelevant for stock. We have Nikon D850 that I record stock videos. Yes, it is an old camera, not exactly good for recording videos. We have been a bit reluctant to update our lineup for now, but will soon. And yet, I work around its limitations and took many of our best-selling stock clips (we still continue using it). I just think that specs are overrated at the end of the day.

You didn’t need a property license for those videos you did of store fronts and such? How does it get around limits of photos done the same way?
@BlokhinFilms5 ай бұрын
If a trademark or logo is visible, the content cannot be commercial, only editorial, regardless whether it is a photo or footage.
@DrunkPhotography4 ай бұрын
@BlokhinFilms OK so basically it is best to submit as editorial if in busy areas/cities or scenes that include facades is what I gather. I did a pics where I submitted a bench in front of a wall of a building --not even the full facade-- and had it rejected for needing a property release. So I was just curious. Thank you.

Editorial licenses have restrictions. They cannot be used for commercial purposes (sell product, promotions or marketing). This article is about images, but the same applies to videos. Hope it helps. support.shutterstock.com/s/article/Premier-Editorial-Content?language=en_US
