Usually my reps never tell me who buys my footage, but they always tell me about their massive commission. That said, much of my raw footage has been used by Disney, National Geographic and the History channels. Several advertising firms and other nameless entities have also bought footage. I am retired now from it all and sold my last camera about 6 months ago. As far as 4K is concerned, I am a bit dismayed that so many of the production houses, while remastering the video have ignored the audio mix. Audio is the most important thing to me as far as the home theater is concerned.

Appreciate all the welcomes I have gotten. Looking forward to my membership here. Thank you all.

Much thanks for the welcome. It appears that we both have much in common.

Much thanks. Every site has its own rules and protocols so, hopefully, I will learn quickly. Appreciate the welcome. Steve

Hey All....just discovered this site and it is right up my alley of interest. I've been an audio/videophile since the mid 70's and, even though my girlfriend thinks I am nuts, take great pride in my film collection and home theater which is a constant but fun drain on my pension. I was in the film industry for a couple of decades filming mostly shark work and other underwater footage around the world, leading filming expeditions and also filming topside on African safaris in Kenya, Tanzania and S.Africa. These days I work as a drummer in several bands in the San Diego, CA area. Currently, I have only about 73 UHD films and a few hundred more blu rays. I try to sell the blue rays I already have when I replace them with their 4K versions which come with their own blu rays...not an easy task. Attached photo is a shot of the my UHD titles. You can see where the 4Ks end and the blu rays begin. At any rate, glad to be here and hope I will be able to both learn a lot as well as contribute to the film community here.
