Shooter guidelines

A few simple rules keep every clip sellable and keep you on the right side of UK privacy law.

QUALITY

Shoot in the highest resolution your phone allows

4K if your phone supports it. Brands need footage that still looks sharp cropped into a 30-second ad.

QUALITY

Hold steady for at least 10 seconds

No handheld shake if you can help it - brace against a wall, or use two hands and slow, deliberate movement.

QUALITY

Film landscape, not portrait

Almost all commercial use is widescreen. Turn your phone sideways before you hit record.

UK COMPLIANCE

Avoid clear, close-up faces

Wide shots of crowds are fine - a clear, identifiable close-up of one person isn't, under UK GDPR, unless you have their consent.

UK COMPLIANCE

Avoid readable number plates

A car in the background is fine - a plate you could read and trace back to someone isn't. Keep moving traffic at a distance.

UK COMPLIANCE

Skip anything overtly branded

Shopfronts in passing are fine, but avoid framing a shot around someone else's logo or trademark - it can stop a clip from being licensable.

The process

From your phone to a brand's timeline

STEP 1

Film what's around you

A rainy platform, a market stall, a queue outside a landmark - shoot it on your phone, no kit required.

STEP 2

Upload & tag the location

We watermark a preview automatically and list it on the marketplace within minutes.

STEP 3

Get paid when it sells

70% goes straight to your bank account via Stripe the moment a brand buys your clip.
