My landlord actually put me on to this site, how it works is you upload stock footage to the site and when it is purchased you are given a commission, according to him it can pay quite well.
If like me you have stacks of tapes full of rushes/raw material it seems like a good way to bring in some much needed funds while working on less commercial projects.
anyway thought it might be of interest to some.

or if you feel like helping a struggling artist who wants desperately to own the Newly restored Jodorowsky box set then, register through this link, then I get get a reference commission from your sales too, which does not effect your 50%  ;D .

Good luck.

A great initiative! :D
Though the prices I've seen are a bit expensive. I think they should establish a range of prices per second or frame (even let you buy just a concrete segment).

P.S.: You on the Jodo box too?  ;D

People tend to set there own prices, so I guess some users get a bit over enthusiastic, seen 4 second clips for $100+ ? your probably right that some regulation would be better.

Yeah Just received Fando and Liz through Love Film, thought the directors commentary was amazing, eagerly waiting for the next disk to come through now.
