I don’t know where you are, but here in Norway, people tend to get paid when their work is used for commercial or entertainment purposes.

Of course, very few can live off of royalties alone, but a lot of artists get a considerable amount income from their previous works.

(Edited in total, I matched the anger I felt from what I was answering to, and decided to moderate)

Any experienced union film director, editor, DOP, writer, sound designer comes to mind (at least where I’m from)

I know quite a few people who rely on royalties for a good chunk of their income. That includes musicians, visual artists and film workers.

Saying it doesn’t exist seems very ignorant.

It didn’t stop with the camera either. In the early days, wrangling the files and setting up a functional workflow was a nightmare as well.

4K raw video before hardware acceleration was no joke!

Haven’t seen Philosophy Tube on here yet.

High quality and engaging deep dives on various philosophy-related topics. Abigail, the face of the channel is an actor and playwright (and an academic) and that very much shines through.
