How It Works

FootageRep works with filmmakers to monetize their footage and we help them do more of what they love most – shooting!

We take your original clips (rushes) exactly as they came out of your camera. We do all of the post-production for you. When you submit to us, you’ll never have to do any editing, color-correcting, other post-production or tedious metadata. See how FootageRep’s post-production is Compared to Traditional Agencies.

We have two plans for filmmakers, and the choice is yours. With our 100 Plan, you will be paid immediately upon acceptance. Or you can choose our 50/50 Plan, which will pay you 50% of all sales received.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Apply to FootageRep to tell us a bit about yourself, what footage you’d like us to look at and which of our Two Plans you prefer.
  2. We will take a look at the quality of your work. If we like what we see, we will work with you to monetize your footage. Please note that we need signed model releases and for footage to contain no logos. Read more in our Submission Guidelines.
  3. You will then be given login info for the Footage Manager™ section of our website.
  4. You can then easily send your footage through our own Upload System.
  5. As soon as the footage is accepted, we will pay you immediately by PayPal for the 100 Plan, or when sales are made with the 50/50 Plan.

Testimonials

What filmmakers have to say about us

Easy to work with, and fast communication. They encourage you to be creative through out the shoot which is always great. Payment was fast and easy. A great experience!

Savva Svet, Brooklyn, New York

Communication was quick, instructions and forms easy to understand and fill in and most importantly – the money arrived instantaneously after signing the contract. I would be more than happy to work with you again in the near future.

Anže Č., Slovenia

Great company to work with! Very professional and I love the level of communication on every project. They ensure the shooter has a solid understanding of what is needed and once the filmmaker delivers, they pay right away, which is always a plus!

Jon Mancinetti, West Hollywood, California

Working with FootageRep was simple, easy, and straightforward. Carl was very professional, punctual with response and payment, and chatty about my passion for sports. It was great to see someone so enthusiastic about sport content as me. I hope to work again with FootageRep and Carl in the future, and I appreciate his reach out, and professionalism.

Echo Giesel Widmer, Austin, Texas

From the very beginning, Carl was an absolute pro. He was very clear with what was needed and how to submit my footage. After he created a username/password for me, a simple “drag and drop” on his website and that was it! After sending the completed paperwork in, I was paid via PayPal almost immediately.

Reo Stevens, Oahu, Hawaii

Many thanks for the money and quick payment.

Chris S., Surrey, UK

FootageRep was very easy to work with. I worked with Carl and he made everything effortless. After the business was taken care of I received payment for my footage almost immediately. I would highly recommend working with this great company!

Corbin Blanton, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

Thanks FootageRep for the opportunity to share my shooting! Working with the site was comfortable, the procedure is very simple and transparent. I found the motivation to take more shooting and evolve in this direction. Very good project for everyone!
