To do what I do you do have to invest a lot of money in equipment,studio,lighting,models so I guess it will be anyway difficult in the future that there are so many people that will invest so much money.I really am not scared of competition.If you do quality work you will sell.If you believe in what you do you will sell.If you work truly hard you will sell and succeed

I can tell you why my clips sell: good realistic acting, this is a skill difficult to copy it is not a tomato or apple and most of all every person is different so you will never be able to copy how a person looks or shows an emotion.I just know that is hard work.Another suggestion is to work very hard on your color correction and make it look unique.I truly wish good luck to everyone

Pond5 / Re: Pond5: What should we improve?

Well I don't really agree because if someone sells his clips at 20$ it makes a really big difference and it destroys the market and our business even selling at 40$ is very bad for us so I would really say that everything depends on the price and not the number of clip sold

General Stock Discussion / Re: About video quality for stock
« on: April 09, 2015, 02:59 »
It really is a complicated matter, I would say go with your feeling and emotion, do it both, heavy color correction if it gives an emotion or flat if you feel the client could use it at best, there really isn't a rule on this.One of my most sold clips is a closeup of a Woman crying and I can tell you I made it completely yellow I never thought it would sell and I sold it 20 times so no rukes attached really

 - 4K video auto down conversion is coming. :)
 What about 1080p down conversion? Still the market for 4k is probably 5% of 1080p and 720p why not thinking about now like all the other agencies do? They all down convert our clips why doesn't Pond5? Could you please Johnatan tell me one reason please

But I got probably 2/3 refunds in 2 years and now suddendly during the promotion me and my wife got refunds for more than 50 downloads sorry but something is not right here also be because the downloads happened during 5 days and not all at once I truly think is very strange

They gave the bonus just to take it away this is what they wrote:
Due to reasons which are beyond our control, we are sorry to let you know
that $.... have been removed from your earnings as result of a refund for
Possible refund reasons:

- Accidental download;

- Admin download test;

- Credit card fraud with mandatory refund issued at request to real card
holder;

- Duplicate download;

- Incorrect size/format/license purchased;

- License update;

- Performance issues (misspellings in texts, quality);



Due to the high volume of daily transactions, we cannot provide additional
clarification on the refund performed. Measures are always taken for the
licenses to be withdrawn and images deleted. Any subsequent unlicensed usage
is liable to legal action and penalties.

This is really theft
