Newbie Discussion / should I mask iPhone front face

« on: November 06, 2017, 04:35 »

I'm shooting some videos with iphone and green screen.
Generally is it problem that the phone is instantly recognizable as iPhone, mainly I mean the round home button. Should I mask it?

I have seen some footage in Pond5 which clearly show iPhone with home button. But in some videos the button and or the speaker is masked.

Masking with a sticker or so looks kind of foul somehow and is quite troublesome to do in post.

General Stock Discussion / ITIN help (never been to US)

« on: November 03, 2017, 08:17 »

I am originally from Finland, but live in Japan now.

As far as I know there is no reason why I should have to pay tax to US as I have never even visited there.

I have tried very hard to understand the actual way how to apply for ITIN which I suppose I need. I even tried to apply it by submitting it in US embassy in Tokyo which ended up costing me 50USD. My application was rejected as I am , surprise, surprise not US citizen.

At this point I just ended up shutting up and paying my tax silently which I have paid thousands and thousands of dollars worth over the years.

Could someone hold my hand and show me the real trick..?

Newbie Discussion / istock model release valid for other sites?

« on: October 25, 2017, 04:46 »

I have bunch of model releases I had when I shot clips as exclusive for iStock.
But now I think about quitting exclusivity.
If I want to upload these clips, can I use the same model release (with iStockphoto logo in it) for other sites? I am afraid the models are out of my reach atm.
