Rob Galbrath (I think that's his name - the "A Photo Editor" guy) had an interesting post yesterday about footage. This is kinda like comparing my neighbor's Porsche to my Cavalier as it relates to microstock footage, but it reinforces the fact that entering into video right now is really the Wild Wild West when it comes to pricing and expectations. Just remember that they are speaking about commercial assignments and huge day rates - their clients are all beginning to expect footage for ipads, etc.
I thought I would post it on MSG because we are beginning to speak about footage quite a bit. I also wonder if we are off to a fair start with the prices that agencies are charging for footage and clips - or is it extremely undervalued right now like photos were in the beginning (and still are).
