Are they all from neighboring hills or paths or high bridges or something?

BTW, you may be suffering from lack of sales because they all seem really short to me, at least for advertising uses and such.

Like spacestockfootage said, its all bridges, paths, seawalls, beaches,etc

The short clip thing... Yeah its based on how much room I have to work with on a consistent, stable surface as well as weather constraints, sometimes the sun would come out and I would just shoot what I could

I tried later on to change the way I would shoot, take smaller steps,etc but that was near the end of it. I think initially I just wanted to make a showreel, I wasnt thinking what would sell and how I would sell it

I was referred to this excellent forum by a veteran shooter and forum user and I'm glad to be here!

A few years ago I decided to start shooting hyperlapse, I'm not sure what the end goal was, it wasn't to sell it as stock footage I think, I was enthralled with the look of it, I was challenged by the capture and processing... 2 years later I edited down the best stuff I had and released it a few weeks ago as a "Love letter to Vancouver", got some views, did some TV and newspaper interviews (Who latched on to the love letter angle and it was a slow news weekend)

The idea since last year was to try and sell the footage on my own site 604scans.com and after a few sales, things have dropped off and now I'm looking at the stock footage angle. My friend has been trying to be helpful but hes into mass market, standard video clips (Kids dancing in the rain, etc) so his advice isn't as helpful as I need it to be for my footage which some of you may know, requires a lot of trial and error and massive back-end processing, since I actually remove birds, as well as generally scrapping hyperlapses with ANY jitter. Some 3-4 second clips required hours of work, so getting paid $32.78 is not appealing...

Where is the best site for my hyperlapses, based on % payout, tax withholding hassles (I'm Canadian) and general traffic?


Thank you
