What's up y'all! I recently made a video touching in on some of my experience in creating stock footage since 2015. I've been focusing more on YouTube recently, but this is my first video about stock footage. I plan on covering more topics within this genre... so I'd really appreciate it if you guys can take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

OMG I've been Hikerman many times too (my new name for that role). Loved the video and just great to have a reminder that there are still a few of us out there filming stuff we find beautiful (sometimes in the mundane) and acting like we accomplished something in nature when really we traveled by car, got a MacDonalds on the way and got a mate to film us pondering life's big questions. Loved it!

Your video clips are great! I have subscribed.

I have recently re-started to upload to YouTube, mostly travel experience in Ontario Canada and some of my hobbies including identifying rocks and minerals, and growing succulent plants.

Since the agencies are selling my clips in cents these days, I wonder if you are making meaningful money from YouTube. I don't know how long it will take to get enough subscribers. I am just trying.

This is my YouTube channel if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUuX04v0eGadGO3zr2XRNEQ

Interesting - what kind of return have you seen on shots where you include yourself versus just generic landscape shots? I've never really included myself in any of the shots.

Thanks! Currently shooting on a Panasonic S5ii, DJI Air 2s, and DJI Action 4. Went from Panasonic GH4 to GH5s before that

Haha, for sure! Adds a little excitement to filming stock

I don't have any exact stats to compare but I think capturing both the landscape shots and a person interacting with the landscape just adds more sellability to your session
