Are you a High Definition cameraman, director, producer or owner of an HD film library (even a small one)?

If so you will have seen Google and YouTube open new markets to showcase your work. You will have seen download taking over the music business and if you are tuned in we expect that you will understand that what has happened to the music industry today  will happen tomorrow with video and film included. As technology moves on who will want music without pictures in the future, when every medium comes with a screen - televisions - ipods - telephones etc etc.

THE PROBLEM		THE SOLUTION
	The problem with being the creative element of the visual art is those who exploit your talents want to pay you once and earn a living from your work for ever. You get paid for the creative work you do, but then you are unemployed. Unless you are very lucky you do not get residuals from the use of your work - certainly not in the music industry.		Become part of the LandscapeHD Channel production team creating the DVDs that are sold as a way of funding the channel. LandscapeHD is not funded by advertising but sells DVDs of instrumental music featuring the beauty of the natural world. We are now working in 1080 format and are looking for creative people who understand that 1080p is the future.

THE DEAL
We pay our DVD film and music rights owners 50% of what we receive after the cost of production and distribution. That is 25% to the film provider/rights owners and 25% goes to the music/record company/music publishers which we synchronise to. We also pay the same for download, which is where we expect future revenue to be greatest, because it can deliver our LandscapeHD synchronised clips anywhere in the world instantly. In the past seventeen years we have never deleted a title from our library and broadcast clips from them every day promoting them.
	Financial Example   Art of LandscapeHD One DVD Retail price via LandscapeHD store = £17.95 (33.61usd) Less Production and distribution costs print on demand = £1.95 (3.65usd) Net income                    £16.00 per unit LandscapeHD retains            £8.00 per unit Music rights owners paid  £4.00 per unit (7.50usd) Film Rights owners paid   £4.00 per unit (7.50usd)   Rate paid per track (divide by 12) =   £0.33 per unit (62.5cents us)   We have sold 20,000 units of this video as our top selling title so far! Total payable to music rights owners over period times 20,000 = £6, 666 (12,500usd) per track Total payable to film rights owners over period times 20,000 = £6,666 (12,500usd) per track   Payable to music rights owners on whole DVD x 12 =  £80,000 (150,000usd) per DVD Payable to film rights owners on whole DVD x 12     = £80,000 (150,000usd) per DVD   This equates to £160,000 (300,000usd) total royalties for a top selling title

RIGHTS

LandscapeHD acquires the non exclusive right to synchronise the footage you supply to music and we also acquires the same from music rights owners. In granting us those rights you will participate in revenue from our use for as long as LandscapeHD sells those DVDs and downloads. In the past seventeen years we have never deleted a title from our library and broadcast clips from them every day on our own network.

CUTTING ROOM FLOOR
LandscapeHD acquires the non exclusive right to synchronise the footage you supply to music which it also acquires from music rights owners. In granting us those rights you will participate in revenue from our use for as long as LandscapeHD sells those DVDs.

This deal to earn revenue from music clips has never, we believe, been offered by the music industry to film makers before. You can now participate in revenue from classical and instrumental music recording artists in this niche music market. LandscapeHD is not a get rich quick organisation, but an established channel which concentrates on high quality artistic films, featuring the beauty of the natural world. We are not a web based channel but one that distributes through high quality traditional broadcast television systems. Accounting is efficient, direct and honest, using the CDBaby business model that has taken the independent music industry by storm.  We are currently looking for contributors to a forthcoming HD feed of our channel. Please visit our production pages. More and more film makers are learning that LandscapeHD is not only a good company to work for at an artistic level, but can turn your cutting room floor into a new revenue source, as well as being highly rewarding in a creative sense.


If this sounds of interest to you whether you are an old lag who has been around the block many years or simply have a new HD camera and feel a passion to be creative because you have seen what we do, - then go HERE.
