What sells depends on many factors. In our case, urban scenes, engaging nature and timelapses of crowds proved to be our best sellers. Also, videos of wildlife are popular too.
Stock videos are the future of stock photography. Stock photos segment is an oversaturated market, which is dead for a casual shooters. Generative AI will only make things worse. If you are still focusing on stock photos, we highly recommend adding stock videos to your portfolio as soon as you can.

We also recommend getting a gimbal. Gimbal is the only tool that allowed to rapidly expand our stock video portfolio. It also allowed to record engaging stock footage clips that would have been impossible otherwise.

I like your style so calm, and not too hyper like others. Just subscribed I’m going to follow you so I can learn from you, since I have so much nature footage and time lapse from my channel. Thank you for your teaching 🙏
Great you found it useful!

Real motivation
Glad to have found your video, I was wondering if all the camera gear you have and travel costs to many countries all came from selling footage?
At the beginning, it was from stock photos. But, more recently, we are earning more from stock videos. So, yes, from stock photos + footage.
@@BlokhinFilms Thank you for answering, glad for that. one additional subscriber from me
For filming famous monuments or landscapes, would it require a property release form?
It depends. If it is art such as monuments, then only an editorial license is possible. If it's nature/landscape, then no, no need for property release.
Thanks for the video.
Glad you found it helpful!
Nice video thank you for sharing. I like your idea of shooting stock footage on an open bus tour. I have a Sony fx6. I can use gyro stabilisation. Do you think that would be a good substitute to a gimbal or monopod on the bus?
I have not tried gyro, but I saw that people achieve results similar to gimbal. I think it may work. On a bus, the issues are fast acceleration, sudden deceleration and abrupt turns. If gyro can handle these movements, then yes!
@@BlokhinFilms I’ll give it a try then let you know
Good video. I recently decided to be exclusive with Pond5 which also has it where you can submit to Shutterstock as well. I working on getting all my content on their sites right now. I have plenty of videos to go through to process. My questions to you is what camera gear do you use? And do you plan your shoots regarding time lapses?
Yes, I saw how Pond5 and Shutterstock are integrating together. It may make sense for certain group of contributors to go exclusive with them. We shoot all our videos, including timelapses, with Nikon D850. For now, it works. We may invest in mirrorless, but not now. We do sometimes plan for timelapses, especially when going to a certain location. But, most of the time we do not. We travel often and you never know when an opportunity presents itself.
You shoot from bus window, behind the window glass?
Depends on the tour bus. When we used the big bus in London, we used the upper deck and there are no windows there.
Do you shooting long shot on the bus and then cut in to a small clips or shooting small clip right away?
Mostly short clips, 20-25 seconds at a time.

I am working harder with mine
You didn’t need a property license for those videos you did of store fronts and such? How does it get around limits of photos done the same way?
If a trademark or logo is visible, the content cannot be commercial, only editorial, regardless whether it is a photo or footage.
@BlokhinFilms OK so basically it is best to submit as editorial if in busy areas/cities or scenes that include facades is what I gather. I did a pics where I submitted a bench in front of a wall of a building --not even the full facade-- and had it rejected for needing a property release. So I was just curious. Thank you.
Hi :) What do you use for editing videos?
After Effects only for stock videos.
Great information 👏, can you suggest best mobile editing video app for stock fotages ?
We don't use phone apps for that and unfortunately cannot give you recommendations.
@@BlokhinFilms thank you so much 🙏🌠
Hi, at 6:00 you mentioned that people buy the video even though it's editorial. What does that mean?
Editorial licenses have restrictions. They cannot be used for commercial purposes (sell product, promotions or marketing). This article is about images, but the same applies to videos. Hope it helps. support.shutterstock.com/s/article/Premier-Editorial-Content?language=en_US
@@BlokhinFilms Thank you so much!
What camera do u use?
We use Nikon D850.
Cool! What camera would you buy now to start with?
I am somewhat biased towards Nikon. But, I see Sony's amazing lineup which makes me want to give them a shot too.
@@BlokhinFilms OK, thank you for your opinion. 😃
What are you thinking of buying?
@@BlokhinFilms I have been looking at Sony but was worried that the 4k crop factor in their cameras might not be a good thing for stock footage? I don't know? I'm inexperienced in this part. That's why your advice would be much appreciated!
I do not worry too much about these details. The best camera is the one you have. Full frame cameras of any major manufacturer (Nikon, Sony or Canon) will work extremely well for stock footage. Of course, there are some nuances here and there, but it is largely irrelevant for stock. We have Nikon D850 that I record stock videos. Yes, it is an old camera, not exactly good for recording videos. We have been a bit reluctant to update our lineup for now, but will soon. And yet, I work around its limitations and took many of our best-selling stock clips (we still continue using it). I just think that specs are overrated at the end of the day.
Lol, you travel through usa and japan. How is this efficiency?
