The best city to make videos

Hi guys
one of my dream is to give up my job and tour the World to make stock footage.
After spending some days searching in pond5 I realize that the most important city in Europe for downloads are London and Paris. But there are also some city which is not as well covered as it deserves, and maybe one of this is Venice. So I took the train and went there to shoot some footage.
Here's my lightbox:

Now, what city do you think can be the next one?
In my opinion you have to consider how good is the city and how covered it is. Looking at pond5 collection I'm thinking about Frankfurt, Rome and Berlin. What do you think?

Hey, Where did you come from. I see this may be your first post here in the forum. With over 700 clips you should have joined in a long time ago. Don't forget at the bottom are a couple of "artist" only forums to talk business.

I just went over 3,000 clips and they are from everywhere. I believe that in any big city there is an opportunity for thousands of clips that are saleable. Maybe the Antartic ;)

Best of Luck.

Hi phantomewo.
Thank you for your post. I come from Italy, but thanks to ryanair I can easily tour Europe with few money. I know that there are some great city you can cover to have general footage, and Frankfurt is one of this because it has the best skyscraper skyline outside Asia and America. But, of course, I think that in the search line of Pond 5 buyers use to search more often "Eiffel Tower" and "Tower bridge" than the name of any other monument. So I was looking for any suggestion...

How about Zurich? Bern, Basel and St.Gallen. Perhaps Luzern and my favorite Baden - all in Switzerland. Geneva is ok, but Marcus is there so he can shoot it to death. :)

Bucharest, Romania! Cheap food and accommodation, nice women, plenty of places to shoot.
