I’m looking for people around the world who can record simple, natural everyday B-roll footage in their local area using a smartphone. This is not professional filmmaking. You do not need expensive equipment, editing skills, cinematic camera techniques, or professional videography experience. The goal is to slowly observe everyday life in different cities and places around the world. I want footage that feels calm, natural, stable, and comfortable to watch for a long time. FILMING STYLE You do not need to keep moving continuously. Please take your time and observe the area slowly. A good filming rhythm is: 1. Move slowly through an area 2. Stop when you find something visually interesting 3. Hold the camera steady for a while 4. Slowly show the surroundings 5. Move again when there is another useful viewpoint For example, if you see an interesting street, building, storefront, market, shopping area, waterfront, park, public square, neighborhood, city view, or architecture, you can stop and show it slowly. There is no need to rush through the location. It is often better to stay still for a while than to keep moving and create unnecessary camera shake. ACCEPTABLE CAMERA MOVEMENT You can mix different filming styles in the same batch. ・slow movement through streets or public areas ・standing still and slowly looking around ・stable fixed shots ・short movement between viewpoints ・slowly focusing on interesting buildings, streets, markets, shops, parks, waterfronts, or local details You can stand in one place and slowly show the surroundings. You can also keep the camera mostly still if the scene itself has natural movement. For example: ・people walking ・cars passing ・shoppers ・trees moving ・water moving ・normal street activity Walking is only one option. The most important thing is stable, useful footage that is comfortable to watch. LOCATIONS I’M LOOKING FOR I’m interested in normal everyday environments such as: ・city streets ・commercial areas ・shopping areas ・markets ・business districts ・residential neighborhoods ・parks ・walking areas ・waterfronts ・seaside areas ・public squares ・tourist or landmark areas ・attractive architecture ・university surroundings ・commuting areas ・normal local everyday life Clean and modern areas are useful, but they are not the only type of footage I want. Ordinary local streets, markets, neighborhoods, and places with a strong sense of local character can also be very useful if the footage is visually clear and usable. You do not need to make a special trip just for this project. Places you already visit during: ・shopping ・commuting ・studying ・work ・sightseeing ・errands ・normal daily outings are completely fine. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Please record: ・horizontal / landscape 16:9 ・1080p or higher ・raw / unedited ・original camera files ・no watermark ・no captions ・no filters ・no color grading ・no transitions ・no unnecessary re-export ・no unnecessary compression Built-in camera stabilization is fine. Please keep the camera reasonably level. PLEASE AVOID ・strong vertical bouncing ・strong side-to-side sway ・fast left-right movement ・sudden pans ・sudden tilts ・excessive shaking ・aggressive digital zoom ・filming mostly toward the ground ・fast camera movement when changing subjects When changing what you are showing, please do it slowly. You do not need to constantly pan the camera. If something is interesting, it is completely fine to hold the shot steady and let the viewer look at it for a while. VIDEO FILES AND USABLE FOOTAGE Multiple separate video files are completely fine. You do not need to record one long continuous video. For example, 15 usable minutes can be delivered as: ・3 separate 5-minute clips ・5 separate 3-minute clips ・several different continuous clips from different locations The total usable footage simply needs to add up to the agreed usable duration. Payment is based on usable footage, not simply total recording time. A clip does not need to be absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Short moments with: ・strong shake ・sudden movement ・bad framing ・accidental obstruction ・strong reflection ・other obvious problems can be excluded from the usable total. However, each continuous clip should be mostly usable overall. Please send the original continuous camera files without trimming, combining, or editing them. I will do the final trimming myself. AUDIO Audio does not matter because I will not use the original audio. The following are all fine: ・traffic noise ・conversations ・wind ・ambient sound ・music playing naturally in the environment PEOPLE IN THE FOOTAGE People do not need to be present. Natural pedestrians, shoppers, commuters, and normal street activity are welcome. Please do not closely follow individual people or make one person the main subject. Wide or medium everyday views are preferred. SMARTPHONE FOOTAGE Smartphone footage is the main focus of this project. Drone footage is not required. You may record the footage yourself or work with someone who is directly helping you. If someone else helps you record, you are responsible for making sure: ・the footage is original ・the quality stays consistent ・the footage meets the same technical requirements ・you have the right to license the footage for commercial use DO NOT SUBMIT ・stock footage ・downloaded videos ・YouTube videos ・social media videos ・AI-generated footage ・footage for which you do not control the necessary rights COMMERCIAL RIGHTS After payment, I need a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free commercial license. I may: ・use the footage in multiple monetized YouTube videos ・reuse it in different videos ・trim it ・crop it ・mute it ・loop it ・re-edit it ・add narration ・add subtitles ・add illustrations ・add graphics The original copyright can remain with the creator. PAID TEST AND ONGOING WORK I normally start with a small paid test of around 10–15 usable minutes. If the footage works well, I may later order: ・30 usable minutes ・60 usable minutes ・recurring batches This can become ongoing work. WHEN APPLYING Please tell me: 1. Your country and city 2. The exact smartphone model you would use 3. What types of locations you can regularly access 4. Whether you can regularly reach urban, commercial, shopping, residential, waterfront, park, market, or other visually interesting everyday areas Please do not make a special trip just to answer these questions. SHORT SAMPLE BEFORE PAID WORK Before any paid test, I may ask for two short fresh samples. Sample 1 ・about 20–30 seconds ・slow, stable movement through an area ・horizontal 16:9 ・raw / unedited ・same phone and setup you would use for regular work Sample 2 ・about 20–30 seconds ・stand still and very slowly show the surroundings ・or use a stable fixed shot with natural activity in the scene ・horizontal 16:9 ・raw / unedited ・same phone and setup you would use for regular work I can send you a short reference B-roll sample. The reference is only to show: ・general pacing ・smoothness ・camera stability ・camera movement You do not need to copy the exact location or scenery. THIS PROJECT IS INTENTIONALLY SIMPLE You do not need to be a professional videographer. If you can take out your phone during normal daily outings and calmly capture stable, natural scenes from your city or local area, you may be a good fit for this work.

I see the challenge here. Capturing everyday life in a genuine way can be tricky if not approached with care. If the footage doesn’t reflect the real vibe of your city, it won't fit well in your YouTube project. I’d focus on recording clips during my daily routine. I’d aim for smooth, stable footage of parks, busy streets, and local markets, creating a diverse library for you so that it resonates with your audience. I'll keep everything unedited and raw, just as you need. I understand the importance of revisions to get it right. I’m really curious about your vision. What specific types of places are you most interested in? Also, what’s your timeline for the first batch of footage?

Consider this ✍️The key is capturing natural everyday scenes in your area. I understand the importance of stable video during normal walks, errands, or sightseeing, everyday outings. You mentioned needing footage from city streets, shopping areas, and parks. What usually matters most here is keeping the camera level and avoiding strong side-to-side sway. I have worked on similar projects where filming stable fixed shots is crucial. So I know the challenge of producing usable footage without unnecessary shakes. My approach would involve: • capturing various styles like slow walking footage and stable shots. • recording in 1080p or higher for quality. • ensuring all footage is original and unedited. • providing multiple separate video files for flexibility. • including scenes from your specified locations to meet your needs. What types of everyday scenes do you think would work best for your project? Best, Kurt.
