General Stock Discussion / Re: I'm very upset today.
« on: August 14, 2018, 01:01 »
Happens often.  Here's an example from my portfolio.

I created this in May of 2016:
https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/61523334/super-popular-social-video-counter-counts-1-billion-views.html?ref=odesigns

After it started selling, I saw copycats like this:
https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/73031793/beautiful-3d-animation-close-video-counter-quickly-increasin.html?ref=odesigns

So blatant.  When I complained, the agency said unless they take my actual file and re-upload it, not much can be done about it.

The only consolation I have is the fact that my file, for the time being, has a higher placement in search results.
It's amazing. A writer without conscience.
Such copies should be criticized.

Even if translation is not smooth, thank you for your understanding.


I have not been a microstock writer for a long time.
There are not many stock creators in Korea where I live.
So there is no opportunity to be honest in my portfolio.



Look at this: this is the way: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/pressmaster
They're such good stock images.
Is it a collection of good images sold in Shertterstock?

Some of the composites look like you just put some graphic elements together without any style or color palette in mind. This one for instance:
https://www.istockphoto.com/nl/en/photo/ransomware-gm684693338-125700649

The colors are all over the place, the background is ugly and distracting, the Ransomware font looks cheap.


Plus, on that same image, you have narrowed your market by putting ANY type at all. Designers just want images. They will put their own copy. Or maybe provide one without copy, in adddition to this one.
Thank you very much for your honest assessment.
I don't know much yet because I have a very short experience as a stock writer.
Your honest assessment has made my knowledge and skills a step up.

It could have seemed ugly because it expressed the confusion caused by Lansomware.
Thank you for your honest assessment.

The portfolio is very nice!

But I have a very strange feeling about it
Which part gave you a strange feeling?
Very curious.
He's probably thinking that some of the composite images are made using other people's photos.

Which would not be allowed by stock agencies
Shouldn't anyone use commercially available images as a source?
I ask you because I don't really know.

Would you have the chance to capture editorials of those e-game competitions in S.Korea...crowds, contestants, promotions, etc? They're fanatics and a huge and growing business!

I used to play Starcraft a few years ago, must have lost a few months of  my life. Also Counter-strike.
I can film the e-ports stadium, but I'm not interested in the game.

If you want to take a movie, decide which image you want to shoot.
When shooting landscapes, you only need the latest DSLRs, monocular lenses and a tripod.
However, to shoot TimeLabs, you must purchase TimeLabs shooting equipment.
We recommend using business images rather than common scenes.

Are you drawing the vectors used in these conceptual pieces, for example the tank and soccer goal keeper?
I was able to deal with AutoCAD because I had been doing architectural design until recently.
After drawing the drawing directly, I do coloring with Photoshop
It is also designed by referring to materials published on the Internet.
