Easter
USE THIS KEYWORD: EASTER2022
Our buyers are already hunting for fresh takes of this much-loved celebration. Do you have a local Easter tradition, like a special meal or game? Does someone other than the Easter Bunny hide the eggs? Whether they’re chocolate or the multi-color, minimum-cal kind, we want to see it and so do our buyers!
Shot List Thought Starters
- Families decorating Easter eggs
- Unique local Easter traditions
- People preparing Easter dishes, like hot cross buns, desserts, lamb etc.
- The Christian aspect of Easter, depicting traditions, symbols and church services
- Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday
- Pagan celebrations of the Spring Equinox
Suggested Keywords
Easter, Easter Egg, Spring, Easter Bunny, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, Christianity, Happy Easter, Easter Cross (if applicable)
Target Group
All groups, but specifically ad agencies, corporate clients, non-profit organizations, TV production companies, etc.
POV Drone Shots
USE THIS KEYWORD: POVDRONE2022
Point Of View (POV) or First Person View (FPV) brings something dizzyingly special to typical drone footage. It’s not just our point of view, though—our buyers agree! Requests for these swiftly moving shots are taking flight.
Shot List Thought Starters
- Go drone racing and capture POV in nature. Think forest, beach, mountains views etc.
- Follow an athlete using a skateboard, longboard, ski & snowboard, etc. It will look like you’re shooting right behind them!
- Top view POV drone shots while taking off and landing
- Timelapse of people walking on the street
Suggested Keywords
fpv drone, pov drone, following shot, timelapse, drone racing, etc.
Target Group
All groups, but specifically ad agencies and corporate clients.
Establishing Shots
USE THIS KEYWORD: ESTABLISHINGSHOTS2022
We’ve noticed an increased demand for establishing shots. But let’s establish something: our buyers want them captured using various camera techniques at different times of the day. Plan to shoot from the same angle in the light and at night!
Shot List Thought Starters
- Locked-off angles of generic buildings, parks, squares, gardens, beaches, forests (etc.)
- Static city aerials
- Timelapses in front of buildings, parks, interiors. Must be cleared for commercial use!
- Empty streets without people, cars, or modern signage.
- Cityscapes and skylines
- Generic buildings of various architectural styles. Think renaissance, family houses, business buildings, vacation houses etc.
Suggested Keywords
Establishing shots, aerial view, timelapse establishing shot, empty street, cityscape, skyline, downtown, generic building
Target Group
All groups, especially ad agencies and TV productions.
PRO TIP
- Buyers prefer clips that are cleared for commercial use. These should never show any logos or 3rd party intellectual property, recognizable cars, signs, license plates etc. If buildings are uniquely designed or a door number is shown, we will require a signed property release from the owner. Any recognizable person in the clip should sign a model release.
- We highly recommend considering diverse actors or models of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, genders, or sexual orientations.
- Choosing the right metadata is crucial for the search algorithm. Never stuff your metadata with irrelevant keywords.
