The demand for stock footage has never been higher. Companies are looking for a fresh way to advertise their products to potential customers. While apps like TikTok and the growth of Instagram Reels have created a demand for video footage, even while budgets for content seem to be declining. Stock sites are a common way that large companies save money on their campaigns, but as a videographer they can be a great way to bring in passive income between higher paying jobs. In a new video Matt Johnson shares his tips to get started filming stock videos and start making passive income fast.
Tip #1: Film in High Resolution
When shooting stock footage its good to shoot in the highest resolution possible. Most stock sites prefer to accept footage that is shot in 4K, 6K or 8K—and many of them charge more for those high-resolution files. Shooting at higher resolution makes your footage more versatile and means a higher margin of profit for you.
