Los Angeles, CA - Digital Cinema Society (DCS) presents How to Monetize Your Stock Footage
November 15th, from 10AM - NOON at West Post Digital, Santa Monica

Los Angeles - November 3rd 2008 - The Digital Cinema Society (DCS), a nonprofit educational cooperative with an international membership nearing 4,000 has announced plans to present an event which will demystify the world of stock footage.

How To Monetize Your Stock Footage is scheduled for November 15th 2008 at West Post Digital in Santa Monica. In this event the DCS will explore how Filmmakers, especially Cinematographers, who may have terrific footage in their library, or would like to go out and hunt for great saleable images in their downtime, can capitalize on these efforts.

Participants include Paula Lumbard from The Footage Bank, Carol Martin from The RED Footage Collective, Phil Bates from Artbeats, as well as Producer and DCS Advisory Board member, Barry Clark, who has greatly increased the return on many of his large screen format productions, by licensing their shots for use in other productions. Ken Michael, a RED camera Owner who keeps busy with his camera during downtime, by going out and shooting stock footage will also attend.

The meeting will cover what kind of images Stock Footage Reps are looking for, which images are the most valuable to them and the best and lowest quality format requirements for acquisition and delivery.

For more details of this and future DCS events please visit the DCS booth at DV Expo Los Angeles Convention Center November 5th & 6th 2008 or the DCS website at http://www.digitalcinemasociety.org
