Small Equipment Update for Everybody

Hey Everybody,

Work has been busy for me lately, but I have a few clips I'm going to be uploading very soon.  I also just ordered a Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter - Minolta MD to Canon EOS Camera Adapter for shooting. This will hopefully give me even more flexibility. I have plenty of 35mm MD lenses that I would love to try out on my T2i (When is the T4i coming out anyways?!?!?!).

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DONATED!!!!!! 

Every donation improves the quality of the footage offered, and the speed that I am able to get it to you.  This adapter will also be added to my Gear I Use page to keep you guys updated on what I use to do what I do.

We have finally made a Facebook Fan Page!

Hey everyone!  After 7 months and 80+ clips, I have finally gotten around to making a Facebook Fan page. 
Please, Please, Please take the time to go visit it at www.facebook.com/BeachfrontBRoll and give it a "like". I don't like not having any "friends" : ( 

I will be doing my best to populate the page with goodies.

It's just another way we can keep in contact and you can socialize with not only myself, but other stock video users. 

Please also do me a favor and pass this page around to others by suggesting it to any of your "friends" who would be interested in not only utilizing stock video footage or looping backgrounds, but who might also just be interested in watching a good video. 

You can also post and share your work with me!

Thanks a lot and I'll see you somewhere, whether it is on FB, Blogger or Youtube!

Pre-emtive Posting!

Just wanted to give everyone out there in my community a heads up.  Please don't open any shortcuts or links or hyperlinks or anything that you think MAY come from my blog.  I don't have a mass e-mail list, and Google trustingly will e-mail you when my blog is updated.  Looking at the statistics for recent visits has shown me that there are a few "SPAMBOT" sites out there repeatedly hitting this blog.  My guess is that they might be trying to sign in or do something. (Comment maybe?)  but so far I have gotten traffic from googlecorrection.com (not real), justforlaughsgags.tv (not real), 777seo.com (not real), and domar.ru (not real).

So please be careful when browsing and opening e-mails.  I would go so far as to say, if you see a comment on this site that carries a hyperlink, don't click on it.  I will do my best to stay vigilant.  All of the postings though are safe, safe, safe.  I will keep you updated if I ever need to change the linking, but they will always to be Uploadstation, Wupload, Youtube or Archive.org.  Unless it is a post detailing or promoting another site like viddb.com which I did yesterday.

Thanks!

A New File Hosting Option Has Come Our Way

Working and talking with Mark over at Viddb.com, he as steered me in the direction of Archive.org as a file hosting option.  I will be slowly uploading and using it for the stock files I create. At the moment my first batch was with my first post here.  The Archive.org files are simply "Right Click Save"

Mark has been very helpful, and it is thanks to people like him that this site has been doing very well.  I hope to showcase more people like in a new section I will be creating showcasing other people in the Free Stock Video world.  Hopefully together we can create a nice network.  When you get time, please go visit Mark over at Viddb.com and check out the clips he has available.  He has been VERY busy populating his site, you will even see clips from Beachfront there!

You can help too!  Please bookmark, facebook, tweet and share Viddb.com as well at this site.

New Month! More clips coming soon!

Happy December everyone!  Sorry about my lack of updates in November, work was challenging and family obligations were enourmous.  I did have a chance to shoot a bit, but I need to process them and upload.  But expect an update hopefully later today, and throughout the week/month.

I wanted to quickly pass along a deal I saw advertised today. I will note, I personally do not benefit from you clicking this link.  I shoot all of the videos you see here on this site currently with the Canon T2i.  Newegg.com has the camera on sale for $629 after entering promo code "EMCJHKJ68" (Marked down from $799)

This is a great price for an HD DSLR Camera.  If you have been interested in getting into the game, I strongly suggest this as your entry camera.

Feel free to ask any questions in the comment section below.

Another Update

Hey Everyone,

Just another quick update.  I notices that the file hosting sites I use, although free, have a limit to the amount of time they can stay online.  I have recently re-uploaded and updated the site to include every clip again, but please comment if you find a clip that has been removed.  I will do my best to keep them updated, so hopefully you will not notice anything.

Some Updates to the Clip Packages

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know, if you haven't been over to the "Clip Packages" page (Tab located at the top of the page), you will see that I have updated the Timelapse package with 3 more clips, and added a "Meter and Electronics" package with 7 clips.

Happy Downloading!

As always, please e-mail, facebook, tweet, google plus or do whatever you can to spread the word about this site.  Thanks!

Slightly New Look

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to clips to stand out a little so I changed the color scheme of the blog a bit.  Hope you don't mind!

Let me know what you think.

Introducing Clip Packages

Hey Everyone!

I have began packaging select clips to allow people to download a few at a time.  I will try to combine them by subject or content.  This will allow you to download a .zip file of a few clips, and bypass the waiting limit in Uploadstation and Wupload which means you can get more footage in less time.  I will try to offer a variety of options.  You can get to the Clip Package page by clicking the tab at the top of this blog, or just click here

Once again, feel free to comment on this page if you have any questions, or just want to say thanks!

And remember to subscribe, e-mail, facebook, tweet or google +1 this page to your friends and co-workers.

Thanks Again!

A few new things

As I get this site into shape, please expect new things.  You will now see tabs towards the top of the blog directing you to a grouping page of Stock Footage and Looping Background.  This way you can see either group just a page away.  Also up in the tabs section is the "How to Download" pages for newcomers to see how to get their clips.

I'm also getting ready to post another group of videos, so stay tuned.

Updating the pages

A few of you may have noticed a few changes since I started this blog.  Based on user suggestions, I have put Youtube previews up for each clip and I am now offering a second download option through Wupload.  I will also be uploading 1 clip per week (because that is the limit) to Vimeo, to give users a third download option. 

The file hosting has always been a question.  Most stock footage pay sites have an internal storage server that lets you download immediately after your purchase.  In order to keep things free on both my end and yours, I had to find sites that offered a large storage capacity, the ability for a user to download without signing up for an account,  and was free to use on both sides.  Both Uploadstation and Wupload offer these options.  Granted you may need to wait a pre-determined time before you can download the next file, this is still faster than many other free options.  Most editors will usually be coming here to download something specific for their project anyways.

In the future, I may offer category based DVD purchases, but for now I think a free option is the best option.  As the collection grows, I look forward to providing something for everyone.
