General Stock Discussion / Re: Property Release

a sign that says 'No Photography Permitted' means absolutely nothing. only a court of law can determine if photography is permitted somewhere, and it has to be based on a federal law, a state law, or a local ordinance. a private business putting up its own rules means absolutely nothing anywhere in the world.

anything that is in the public view is usually legally filmable, in almost every country.

cemetaries cannot be copyrighted, because they are not creative works. the creative work is your photo of the cemetery, not the cemetery itself.

I sell my cemetery videos and you should sell yours too, regardless of what the cemetery says.

I went on a date with a woman many years ago, late 1990's, who was a photographer. she bragged about how she was an 'art' photographer. she used the example of a photo she took of a family who owned a pet pig, and they were watching "Charlotte's Web" on TV.

I would have added to it: the family was eating bacon, the father was a cop, a stuffed animal of Kermit the frog, etc. it makes the image more sellable and interesting.

when I started, I filmed everything I saw. I sold a lot of videos.

I also learned what people are looking for.

now I only film videos that I think have a high chance of sellability.

- videos should clearly convey a concept that someone might want

- reduce as much as possible anything that is not related to the video (audio tracks, background content, logos, etc)

- pick a location that matches the concept, and actions that match the concept

- use the right angle, the best equipment, the correct lighting, the correct zoom, the correct focus, etc

- use the best matching keywords and descriptions

- make sure the videos use the correct codes, file formats, and bitrates

- make the content available on every stock footage site, in order from highest earnings to lowest

Adobe Stock / fotolia US tax withholdings
« on: September 17, 2014, 15:50 »
I changed the original topic title and the message because my tax advisor (former IRS attorney) has told me that Fotolia's withholding policy is actually being done correctly.
