always appreciate the content man, you're one of the few creators who continue to do it right! thinking out loud here: might be an intriguing video to recap a list of things you don't do and the anecdotal reasons why? like why i dont shoot S-cinetone or why I don't shoot out-of-town weddings any more ... feel like YT is pretty saturated with "here is what is awesome, and here's the same 10 reasons everyone else is bigging this up". have a feeling the creators that will continue to excel will be the ones applying a bit more of their experience to their content, and sharing more valuable info to their subscribers. anytime a channel is showing me some real-world whys & why-nots, it feels like the creator is working pretty hard to be a resource for the betterment of the industry, rather than just chasing clicks. potentially a fun video exploring some of the oops along the way, and honestly don't see a lot of vids like this. regardless, cheers in the new year!
Stock footage sales isn't what it used to be. The algorithm kicks out perfectly fine photos makes me wonder do you have to know someone to get your photos to go through?
I just want to drop a comment to say that you make the MOST informative not-cringey or annoying videos out there. Anytime the algorithm serves me up one of your videos I watch it and it’s always worth the time. Thanks!
So many UA-camrs have the same speech pattern. Small pauses in sentences etc. Even the "let me explain" trope. While this information is useful, it's so formulaic.
I was looking at a modle release form And this might be a stupid question But i was reading though on what it was about and all it was stating was about photography it didnt say anything about videos Or does is it all the same...???
I've joined Artgrid in August and uploaded 25 footage that made me 250$, that's a lot of money for so few videos! I am a full time stock photographer and Artgrid is worth my time :)
Hello ! how long did it take them to answer you when you applied ? i applied in decembre, still no news, and i talked with them, it means they havent reviewed my submitting yet... the queue seem very loooooooong.
@@Studio23creation I've applied at the end of May and got a reply in July. They asked me for more footage to see and got my portfolio online in August. Hope it helps!
Brother how do you get them to accept your footage? More details please. Is it a reel? Upload from UA-cam? Pro res? High fps? Colorgraded or not? How long? Or is it just luck of the draw
Hi, Matt & the Crew, thank you and I am now on board the YPP DEC 2023. I Followed you for the past 2 years. thank you and am learning more again from you. God will make way for me to meet the Crew in person one day from South Africa. written 04/01/2024
Hi! Do you think that with de Sora and eventually others AI video generators, it is a good time to start making stock footage? (Just bought a bmpcc4k and want to make some extra money) Thanks, regards from Uruguay!
how about a how to using the DJI RS2 gimbal or something, especially with a larger camera (i.e. Z9). Also, a video on incorporating lighting to up the professional look of video, and trick to getting crip video that pops (even though using a Ninja V+ and all the other tools, never seems to pop like a commercial you may see on TV.
Hi Matt, great that you continue to share your experiences even though you don't have a lot of free time. Please tell me why you don't upload videos to shutterstock, you only have 50 videos there. Thanks.
wow, that's very impressive!! congrats! would you be able to share how many clips you had online for that payout? also are you uploading all the raw files and are there particular themes that do well? thanks for the help, i am also on artgrid and want to expand my portfolio. i think i saw one of your clips of a volcano, really cool!
@@gentlesteps2476 yes mate! I started 2023 with 950 clips online and ended 2023 with 2500 clips online, I shoot Sony a7s3, everything in log, and everything I upload is graded and in log, also mavic 3 log and graded. I also have a big library of animated footage, nebulas, black holes etc.
@@gentlesteps2476 I also contribute to blackbox (adobe stock, Vimeo stock, shutter stock, pond 5 and other ), lightstock, igniter stock, youworkforthem and filmpac. I'm able to make a living from stock footage and now traveling the world shooting whatever I like
Hi Matt, great video. Got a question though, what if the property in the shot is some famous building or some tourist point of interest? How would you get the signature for the property release form?
It's not wedding related. Lots of aerials, timelapse, people walking in the woods, fishing, etc. I'm pretty sure I was how he got $900 from Lightstock 😄 His footage is some of the better content on there.
Hi Matt, ist impressive but only a bit helpful. E.G I have 150 photos in different stocks and earned only 150USD in 5 Years. More interesting is, what kind of videos you made the most? How long are they and in which quality? What's about audio? What was your Bestseller? I haven't upload any videos so far and really interested but I have no ideas what to film... Thx and happy new Year 🎉
This was extremely helpful! I just checked out the guide too... Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!! Excited to explore this and see where it goes. You just got another sub
Hi Matt, do you mind making a video of what kind of footage, quality, color graded or not...etc. those websites accept?
Download the guide…it has all the info you need.

Hey Matt, thanks for sharing all this info! Do you have any experience with Getty/iStock? or do you deliberately avoid them for a particular reason?
how do you up[load to lightstock theres no option. it thinks i want to buy
So many UA-camrs have the same speech pattern. Small pauses in sentences etc. Even the "let me explain" trope. While this information is useful, it's so formulaic.
Does anyone know if Artgrid is only accepting people through 'become a filmmaker' versus only uploading photos or some other avenue?
How many videos did it take to generate this money Matt?
I was looking at a modle release form
And this might be a stupid question
But i was reading though on what it was about and all it was stating was about photography it didnt say anything about videos
Or does is it all the same...???
Thank you. Are these websites region specific? For example, do they work best for filmmakers from the US than say from other countries?
How many footages did you uploaded in 2023 ?
Amazing, never thought of selling stock.

5:29 should say "from Art Grid". (you said "Light Stock" twice in a row by mistake)

U can upload the same vids to all websites?

Thanks for your informative video! Which drone do you use which offers an image quality good enough for stock footage?
Where are you getting taco's for a dollar? Asking for a friend❤Thanks for sharing this :)
Can't wait to see what you earn this year! What camera(s) do you use if/when shooting any time-lapse? What is the minimum image size? 4K?
You say artgrid but the payment comes from artlist? Can you please explain this?
Cheers so muh Matt and I'm guessing the so called Christian one doesn't want any of Satan 😂😝❤
Hi Matt! Is Lightstock best for selling footage?
Nice! I've got tons of stuff that could be uploaded, need to make some time to go through it all.
Hi Matt, great that you continue to share your experiences even though you don't have a lot of free time.
Please tell me why you don't upload videos to shutterstock, you only have 50 videos there. Thanks.

I think a refresh of Budget Wedding Filmmaking Gear Guide for Beginners would be useful for so many people
the guide was super informative for a beginner like me! to the point and a very quick, easy read. thank you so much for sharing!
Hey Matt, what are your thoughts about wirestock?
Hi can i upload the same footage on two other different site?
Do you have a visual of your stock films that sell compared to ones that don’t do well?
Working on a video exactly about this
i saw your last year video and know i am here again jajaj thanks man!
Hi Matt, great video. Got a question though, what if the property in the shot is some famous building or some tourist point of interest? How would you get the signature for the property release form?
Anyone know if you can sell vertical stock footage?
Mmm tacos:)
Amazing dude, thanks so much!
Thank you for this very informative video and guide.
When you are submitting stock footage, is it edited and color graded footage or can you submit log format as well?
Most sites want it to be edited and colored
Okay thank you! I just downloaded your guide although it didn't come right away for some reason. I got it a few hours later lol@@whoismatt
do you upload same videos to all this platforms?
Yes
Great information, thanks for sharing.
I presume it was wedding related footage you were uploading Matt. I would have thought that could be difficult if your clients objected.
It's not wedding related. Lots of aerials, timelapse, people walking in the woods, fishing, etc. I'm pretty sure I was how he got $900 from Lightstock 😄 His footage is some of the better content on there.
@@Extremehick thanks 👍 I shoot a lot of food and barbering events - so I'll look into it closer.
1:34 because your prices are too low. $27 for 4K is crazy low.
He doesn't determine the pricing. The stock site does. You either take it or you don't make money.
@@FilmshooterOH Not on Pond5. You set your own prices there. And $27 for 4K is crazy low.
That's really cool!
Thank you
Thanks
