    distribution Alternatives to iTunes and Amazon Video Direct?

    Does Vimeo have a "set up fee" or anything like that? Can you add a title by yourself or do you have to go through a distributor of sorts? And do they pay based on minutes streamed?

    distribution Alternatives to iTunes and Amazon Video Direct?

    I'm looking for an alternative online movie viewing service besides iTunes and Amazon Video Direct. Is there a small independent site that pays you revenue per stream?

    Which earns more money for you, Amazon or Vimeo?

    Is that $100 from monetizing with ads? That would take about 200,000 views.

    Cost to hire a good voiceover guy?

    I found one guy on there. Still not cheap considering my word count of about 1,100. I got a rough quote from one of these voice websites. $1,500! That's ridiculous for a YouTube release. It would take a million views just to break even on my voiceover costs. Deep, middle aged, grave, sobering...

    Cost to hire a good voiceover guy?

    I have about 2 pages of narration needed for a YouTube video. Less than 10% of the voices I have heard fit what I need, and those small few have big lists of credits. I worry that they may be way out of my budget. In looking at some of these voiceover talent websites there's no guidelines as to...

    I haven't bought it yet. Waiting for my credit card limit to be increased. Here's a great video comparing the Sony to the Canon G7 X Mark II. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoNRXWFTFa4

    Copyright...for a commission!

    Take upfront money. Indie movies never make money. If it does well then consider it advertising for your skills.

    Powder used by makeup artists?

    Thanks. Too much traffic to drive to one of those. I went to CameraReadyCosmetics.com Also found some other related crap that I need for my shoot.

    Powder used by makeup artists?

    Alright I'm a guy. I know NOTHING about makeup. I've noticed that makeup artists brush on a powder to take the oily reflection off people's faces. What product do they use?

    Has anyone used GoFundMe ?

    I just starting searching for independent licensers. Lots on YouTube. iStock is just out of my budget. I'm a long ways off from gathering clips but some of the things I'll need... People celebrating in the streets. ANTIFA vandalizing businesses. US / Mexico border footage Prison footage...

    camera-gear Best camera for $200 - $300

    I've actually decided to spring for more like $500 to $550. Seems like the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II is a great choice. This video has me convinced. Nice film look by shooting at 60 FPS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rZCNlIEWg8 First and foremost I want the best video "look" for the...

    camera-gear Best camera for $200 - $300

    I saw Casey Neistat giving high praise for the Canon S120, but his video is over 3 years old and the S120 is apparently no longer made. But is it still the best camera for video, used in the $200 to $300 range?

    Should I remove laptop brand logos in short film?

    An easy fix with Adobe After Effects as long as you don't have something like somebody's stringy hair partially blocking the logo. Whatever you do, don't ask Toshiba for permission. I've found out the hard way that companies are very anal about their trademarks. And once you ask, it can be used...

    Has anyone used GoFundMe ?

    Stuff like this probably gets traction by getting media coverage. And it gets initially started by political action groups that already have LOADS of politically charged twitter followers, facebook followers, etc.

    Has anyone used GoFundMe ?

    iStock Photo is $52 per video (@ web resolution 640 X 320) if you buy 36 credits (enough for 6 videos). These prices are out of line with the revenue people are generating on YouTube. There's gotta be cheaper alternatives out there. I guess you just have to search far and wide for people who...

    Has anyone used GoFundMe ?

    Has anyone ever used GoFundMe to raise money for a production? I'm trying to raise about $500 to $750 to buy iStock video clips for just a 15 minute YouTube video, although it's a comedy that makes fun of Democrats. In times like these, people are VERY passionate about politics. It's also a...
