First Sale On Pond5

Just got my first sale here on Pond5!

I noticed it as I was logging on to check on tagging some clips I've been uploading. I saw the account balance was $25 and said "Hey, all right!"

The clip I sold is:

Congratulations!
There will be more to come.

Great work and congrats! Dang Is need to learn how to do graphics. So far all I know how to do is push a shutter button on and off ;).
Well Done.
Don

Me too Don. I keep wondering how the heck these guys do this stuff.
It's all I can do to make sure I have the same color socks on each foot.

Thanks for the congrats guys.

If you want to learn how to do graphics, I can point you in the right direction. I do all mine in After Effects.

If you go here:

http://www.videocopilot.net/basic/index.html

You can check out free online lessons in the very basics of After Effects, plus there's a link to a 30 day free trial of After Effects CS3. After that, the regular site (videocopilot.net) has a ton of other free AE tutorials. I like this site a lot because Andrew Kramer has a knack for explaining what he's doing and things start to make sense.

Election will rock this year. And ... Olympics too!

I have the complete CS3 suite so I just need to learn After Effects. I do good just to save a video ;) Thanks for the link.

Yeah I watched all of those video copilot tutorials like 5 times each. There is also a free video podcast for AE by aharon rabinowitz (from creative cow) which is also very good.

Ya, Ahron's tutorials are good too. So are Harry J Frank's (graymachine.com)

Congratulations!

Same happened to me - just logged in to check some stuff and voila - 3 sales and all on the same day ! :)
