How to make money in Stock Video and Photography

CG ... CG ... CG ... CG ...... no more footage! Everyone CG is the future, believe it. Don't waste time and money on footage video, it's dead. Dead ... dead ... dead .......

oh, fractals ... fractals .... fractals ... no more CG or video ..............

Completely agree, everyone put your cameras on Ebay.






Now that they have gone, Don, its only you and I with camera footage. We will dominate the footage world........
MUUUUHAHAHAHAHA

Are you kidding?

Hey, what about me? :(

Luxor,

You make a great point. Convert all your old taped or filmed footage to zeros and ones. Then at least you can salvage that old stuff and try to sell it in the modern age! Cheers

LOL You all sound like your trying to use reverse psychology to get people to use their cameras more ?????
duh... thats not how that works. If you want to use reverse psychology you need to say things like:
"Dont do CG! Everyone, Footage is the future"

Damn people.
Reverse psychology, your doing it wrong. :P

@AllFractUP - You have set a very important legal precedent with all your fractals clips because now I know that I can upload 30,000 clips of clouds which is a physical real life manifestation of fractal mathematics and thus grab more than 50% of the market share of that niche. Wow I can film 180 different 20 second clips per hour. This would have been impossible in the "other agency". .....but wait....I think I am going to switch to ducks in ponds,,,, ;-)

Reverse the reverse psychology to get something cool.

Luxor,

Yippee!

This is a fascinating conversation. It is clear from this discussion that a lot of the folks advocating a CG-Only world here no very little about photography. The comments about pointing a camera in the direction you wish and pressing a button, then subsequently getting a great shot worthy of being purchased is as off base as saying a CG artist can random throw primitives into Lightwave and Blender and come up with Avatar.
