Learning New Skills with Footage


Besides microstock photography, I'm also learning about footage, and it is a lot of fun. I recently bought a Nikon D7000 which has a HD 1080p Video camera, and it is great! After some research,  I was able to add my first 33 videos at Shutterstock, and I can't wait to add more.  The review process for footage is way faster than images, and so far I'm having a 100% approval rate, exciting!

No sales yet, but I heard it takes longer than images to get your first sales. I also added 22 clips to  Pond5, and it should take one to two weeks to get reviewed, crossing my fingers. The uploading process is pretty easy, I use FTP with Filezilla, and I had no problems so far. Now I'm  trying to find new subjects for my next videos, and find out what sales.

Here are three of my clips, still learning, and hoping to improve in the near future.
