I give stock footage people a lot of credit, it is a LOT of work/dedication to render out individual clips and label them correctly. And to answer your pinned comment, I do a lot of cinematic footage of nature/wildlife but incorporate them into vlogs and what not to show off my life in Remote Alaska.

The stock industry is really almost a different animal now compared to when I started selling my images thru Getty in 2000. Back then I was mostly an editorial photographer--often travel magazines and sometimes commercial jobs esp resorts. I actually ended up with an art director at Getty and I'd do shoots for Getty. Before digital I was probably averaging 80K a year in this side gig of stock sales in the early 2000s. One shoot I did with Getty about business people on a train probably brought in 30K alone in I think 2007? But my art director was let go and Getty was bought out (2012/) and digital allowed less tech savvy but creative photographers add their stock to the game. Just the law of supply and demand brought down the dollars available. And also, like your sample clip, basically motion these days. BTW, my former art director at Getty said "business, business and business" sells. But also now wellness...

Bive vid! But a few things i dont understand here Chris! You are uploading to blackbox and show it in the video. But then say stuff along the way, such as: - Uploading raw footage, cause its a higher price point - uploading 5,9k, because its a higher price point - shooting 60-120 fps so the client can slow it down But according to the bb success guide, 60fps is max when uploading to blackbox. 4k is highest resolution allowed, and raw footage is not accepted at this point.

This means I've been getting about USD$35/month pretty consistently from a couple of sales a month. I've actually worked on a system to auto-generate keywords with some AI systems. However I can't find the spare time to complete it, which is unfortunate as I think it would make the lives of many Stock Footage curators much better.

Should i keep the footage at 60fps and upload as is or slow down and upload at 30fps? I have been shooting in C4K (4096 by 2160) and uploading to BB at that rate. 2. Should I remain at C4K or shoot at “normal” 4k?

Hey Chris thanks for the great super informative transparent videos, I love your accessible vibe and positive energy! I'm a photographer that switched to video in the pandemic and I am kinda struggling with making my reel. Since I am more new at this I second guess my content and then I feel like it's not good enough (as in its not interesting and compared to someone as experienced.) I know a lot of it is confidence that comes with experience, but also I haven't necessarily found a niche. Could you make a video that maybe breaks down a good reel/how to make a good reel? Do you stick with a niche with your reel? Or do you have a specific 'stock video' reel?
Cool video! How do you handle situations where you have no model release, especially in other countries when doing street photography / shooting stuff when you travel? How do you ensure you are allowed to sell the image, especially when it's only 1 other person on it? That person might have consented to you taking the picture, but might not be happy if you sell it to others?

I’m at a point where I kinda wanna outsource everything except the actual shooting (even the edits). Not sure how financially feasible or easy to set up that is. Would love insight. Thanks!
