Reeling in attention for your footage
Our creative experts have reached into their imagination to create quirky and cool reels for our social and main sites. These reels have demonstrated how stock can be showcased and have attracted the attention of clients across multiple platforms.
They’ve received coverage in TIME, Mashable, Devour, Wired, Fast Company, Adweek, MTV, Fstoppers, and BuzzFeed. Four are Vimeo Staff Picks, and all of them together have amassed over 5 million views to date.
It's creatively rewarding.
Some of best filmmakers and stock producers from around the world are
with Dissolve — our rapidly growing collection of unique, compelling footage
is a testament to that. Like you, we care about story, shot quality, camera movement, style, mood, and technique, and encourage that in our contributors.
Financially rewarding too.
Whether you’ve been shooting video for years or are just getting started, licensing stock is a great way to earn income, while seeing your footage
in some pretty cool projects. Our customers include major ad agencies, Hollywood film studios and production companies, and Fortune 500 companies. Contributors tell us Dissolve is one of their top-earning sites.
Exclusivity has its benefits.
If you join Dissolve as an exclusive contributor, you’ll receive perks such as a preferred royalty rate, a discount on Dissolve footage, front-of-the-line processing of clips, and the opportunity to have a featured contributor page and a contributor spotlight.
