RedUser Stock Footage (HiveImage.com)

This sounds like a fantastic idea, Paul. Thanks for setting it up. I know I won't have time or resources to sell my footage directly, so partnering with something like this will be very beneficial for me. I'm sure I'll be taking part in this when I get my RED #791 in December. Please keep us updated!

Hey Jeremy,
nice site...
So are you only going to shoot Bike stock
or other stuff as well?
The biggest consideration any stock agency
must consider is advertising and exposure.
Without that you are not going to sell anything,
no matter how great it is.

Thanks Red Guy

No, I probably wont have very much bike footage on the site. It is a small market to begin with, I don't think enough people would be interested in it.

We decided to make a site because we frequently are asked about old stock from previous shoots and it would be much more convenient to have a client be able to go to the site and find out right away if what we have is what they are looking for. We don’t plan on making a business out of selling stock footage on the website, it’s just a better way to make it available.

I actually have a lot of clients looking for stock for spots.
We have bought stock from everywhere. Mostly sports
related stuff.

The type of calls we recieve for mountian biking are people wanting to buy crash footage for TV shows, random shots for commercials, and shots for people oganizing events.

We plan on having mountain biking stock on the site, but it generally is not the type of sport stock that sells very well. Other than mountian bike films, it isn't on TV much unless it's a crash.
