If pictures have metadata FTP or disk submissions do not require any further work from the contributor. Our staff will select the categories and make sure files get maximum exposure.
So all you need to do is to throw the files to FTP server or mail the disk, and we'll take care of the rest.

To reply the original post, I think that the concept itself is good.
A lot of microstock contributors would love it. What comes to the ownership of the company, I think I'd leave that out since it's likely too complicated and difficult to handle.

When photos include IPTC metadata we also accept submissions by optical discs.

We are contacting the contributors directly.

We now offer FTP for promising contributors. FTP doesn't involve the category selection.
Our site pulls IPTC info from the jpg files.
In best cases, all that contributor needs to do is upload via FTP and they're done. Of course they can return to their profile to make tweaks to keywords, description.

Thank you for joining our site! We've received a lot of feedback about the category issue. I understand .. We are updating the upload engine and see if we can improve the usability in this aspect.

We are new royalty free stock site. Our idea is to focus on files which are a bit more than normal typical stock files. Before you continue reading, I'd like you to have "open mind". Because we're a bit different. We pay 50% of royalties to our artists from day one. There are no lockdowns, artists can delete their own images or portfolios as they wish. There's standard 30-days notice but if someone really wants to get out, were not going to keep anyone waiting. We're pretty fair comparing to other stock agencies. We are especially looking for files in following categories: Performing Arts Traditional Arts Ethnic & People of the World (Especially hispanic people) Planet Earth Cinema Sports Medical Science Music Aviation We do accept all kinds of files, also renders, and stereoscopic images, but we are pretty picky on typical business photos, or photos that are too common. We curate files based on their artistic value and technical execution. You may call us crazy by not accepting all business handshake photos. We figure that people wanting typical business images are likely buying it from iStock. In a nutshell, we want your most unique images. http://www.artfilmstock.comHere's our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/artfilmstock

We have enough beta testers now. Thanks for those who joined. We will let you know when we start to accept contributors.

We'll get back to you when our site is released and we are ready to start to accept contributors.
So, that's all for now.

Don't other companies beta test their sites before going live?
42
« on: July 04, 2011, 21:18 »
We are doing both. Video uploads will go live sometimes in September.

Let me just say, we have a pretty solid marketing strategy in mind, and we are going to throw some money at it too, sure! This isn't something we work when we have time to it.

« on: July 04, 2011, 19:15 »
Yeah, sure. We can't promise that our business will have millions of buyers. Nobody can't. That's why we don't. We'll just work our butt off to improve the chances that it someday will.
When you start new things there's always bunch of innovation and unique things involved. That's why we don't want someone copying things like our logo and business model before we take the wraps off from our own site. That's why we require people to sign beta testing agreement first.
Why we need beta testers? To adjust the site and fix the bugs so that our contributors are happy - so that the upload process is as nice and smooth as it's possible to make. Every artist is different and it's just not enough if we have our cousin checking out the site when he has time.
We actually do have now a handful of beta testers, but we'd still like a few more. If you are interested, just let me know.

Yeah, excuse me for the secrecy, but we're simply not yet ready to take wraps off the site quite yet. We're re-designing the site's UI and we are just not ready to go live yet. That's why we call it "BETA" at this point.
You are welcome to join the site after our release date 21st as a contributor and you don't have to care anything of that BETA stuff. We pay 50% for our artists from the day one so there's no ladder to climb.
