She also gives insights into what type of contributors Stocksy is looking for when they publish their Call To Artists. Certainly useful for those who would like to join their community.

I doubt I stand a shot as I have so much invested in being Exclusive. My bet is like photo they are looking for very edgy and filmic looks not just stock video. I have a lot of unique clips and subjects but not a lot of filmic edgy stuff.

Yes, I know my normal videos won´t be good enough for them. But it is a great additional option and I am sure they will help me get to the next level.

There always seems to be that very large gap between what these agency people say they're looking for, vs. what they actually want.

Maybe it's one of those "they will know it when they see it."  :)

Just like the gap often seen between what photographers think they are producing and what they actually produce.

Frederic Raphael, talking  about Stanley Kubrick, summed it better: "You don’t know exactly what he wants, but you know he wants he doesn’t know what and hopes you can supply it"

so funny, i choked and spat my beer onto my laptop !!!  i am going to send you a bill soon
if my laptop chokes on me .

seriously, i guess that explains why they are taking so long to approve or reject some of the applicants. waiting to have their portfolio pop up and grab them by the throat  8)

...hmmm, i know i don't want these...
but these ones i am still wondering maybe yes, maybe noooo, maybe...

oh oh oh etudiante rapide,... now that's a definite no !!!
(no, because i have not decided to submit there too) ;D ;D ;D
