Wow. Philip Bloom is a pretty well known and revered figure, especially in indie film making scene. He has a huge following. If Google is smart they will settle this quickly.
- sqdbps 8y agoAre you his agent?
- wlesieutre 8y agoIANAL, but "you can use copyrighted stuff in internal videos" is only true in that you're not likely to get caught doing it. If it's really internal, the copyright owner has no way of knowing you did it. (note - parent comment was edited so this reply no longer has any context)
- keithpeter 8y agoI had never heard of the chap until today. Just watched a couple of youtubes, and yes, I'm very impressed (perhaps being on the BBC front page for a bit will boost the ratings).
- coldtea 8y agoNot exactly in the indie film making scene (he's no Cassavetes, or Gus Van Sant or whoever is the indie equivalent today). Bloom was an old British (BBC?) cameraman/video journalist, who came into web prominence with his "DSLR for video" posts and reviews. For a while he/his was one of the few goto persons/websites for this niche. So his audience has indie film-makers, but also ad people, wedding shooters, and generally people interested in DSLRs and digital video for news/ads/wedding/documentary/fiction in general. Himself does various ads/documentary/tv gigs (e.g. he worked on CNN's travel series). That said, content-wise he has jumped the shark the last 1-2 years.
- anthonybsd 8y agoRight you are sir. I haven't actually followed him since I got out of the DSLR filming (rigs, follow focus, all that jazz) nearly a decade (7?8 years?) ago. I just remember that on dvinfo and similar venues he was a force to be reckoned with along with Vincent Laforet. People would follow his travel schedule almost religiously.
