Selling Stock Direct / Re: Submit your clips to multiple agencies with one click with BlackBox
« on: March 22, 2017, 11:21 »
Hi everyone, I'm Josh from BlackBox.
First: thanks for your feedback!
The website and messaging is a work-in-progress. We've been focusing 99% of our efforts getting the platform ready and robust for users.
Marketing and better customer-facing stuff is coming and I promise we're working really hard to make sure it makes sense and doesn't sounds so "fluffy".
To answer a few questions asked so far: we send your stock footage to Shutterstock, Pond5, VideoBlocks and a few more, with expansion to even *more* with every passing month.
We help you and any collaborators you worked with (think the sound guy/girl or editor) ensure that they also get paid more than just one time for your footage. We're interested in the long-tail side of things, and pushing back against the gig economy that's hurting the industry a lot right now (we feel it and we know lots of other people do too).
The rights management lets you split ownership of the content in a percentile measurement that makes it easier to ask for help from friends and colleagues without worrying about buyouts or convincing a someone to just do a favor.
The script writer is our founder, Pat McGowan (he's worked in the industry for years and runs a successful video production agency). He's really passionate about ensuring that content creators keep the rights to their stuff, and stop getting pushed around by big production houses and clients.
If you'd like to hear from Pat (put a voice to a name), we just did a podcast episode with StudioSherpas and they were pretty stoked about BlackBox and what we had to offer. ( https://soundcloud.com/user-242500085/ssp-014-passive-income-for-video-producers-w-pat-mcgowan-of-blackbox )
Please feel free to reach out to us on Twitter @blackboxglobal if you have any questions.
Also you can sign up and give us a shot and try it for yourself. It's *FREE* (as much emphasis on that as possible) and remember: you keep the rights, so no worries on that front.
If you read this whole reply: thanks for taking the time and have a great day!
