Worldwide Walking & City Footage — Ongoing Paid Work

I am looking for people in countries outside Japan who can personally record simple everyday walking and city footage for use as background B-roll in a monetized Japanese YouTube channel.

This is intended to be ongoing work, and I may hire several people in different countries.

Professional filming is not required. A normal smartphone or your usual camera is fine.

I want natural footage of places you already visit in your normal daily life, such as:

- Streets and neighborhoods
- Parks and walking paths
- Shopping areas and malls
- Markets
- Office or residential areas
- Seaside areas
- Tourist areas
- Other normal daily surroundings
- Bus and train window views
- Passenger-seat or rear-seat views from a car

You do not need to make a special trip or visit a famous tourist attraction. Everyday places around where you live are completely fine.

REQUIREMENTS

- Landscape 16:9
- At least 1920x1080
- Original footage personally recorded by you
- No editing, music, captions, watermark, or color grading needed
- Audio quality does not matter at all
- Natural continuous footage is preferred
- Minor natural camera movement is fine
- Please avoid strong up-and-down bouncing that could cause motion sickness
- Please avoid sudden left/right camera swings
- Please avoid keeping the camera strongly tilted for long periods
- Other people naturally appearing in streets or public places are fine
- Any section where the camera operator’s face, body, hands, or strong reflection is clearly visible will not count toward the agreed usable footage
- Passenger-seat and rear-seat car views are welcome
- Bus and train window views are welcome where filming is permitted
- No footage from the driver’s seat, including footage from a mounted camera
- Never film while operating a vehicle

The agreed duration means USABLE footage.

For example, if we agree on 30 usable minutes, sections that cannot be used because of severe camera shake, the camera operator appearing prominently, corrupted footage, duplicated clips, loops, or other agreed exclusions will not count toward the 30 minutes.

Several separate natural clips can be combined to reach the total duration. Clips of around 3–15 minutes each are completely fine.

ORIGINALITY AND USAGE

All footage must be personally recorded by you.

Please do not use footage taken from:

- YouTube
- Social media
- Stock footage libraries
- Other creators
- AI-generated video

I need a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive commercial license to use the delivered footage repeatedly as background footage in multiple monetized YouTube videos.

I may:

- Crop the footage
- Trim it
- Mute the audio
- Loop sections
- Re-edit it
- Add narration
- Add subtitles
- Add illustrations
- Add graphics and other visual elements

Copyright ownership does not need to be transferred to me.

The footage may remain your copyright. I only need the right to repeatedly use and edit it for my YouTube channel without additional royalties or fees after payment.

If the footage has already been licensed elsewhere, registered with Content ID, or has any other restrictions, please tell me before we work together.

ONGOING WORK

I am looking for several reliable people in different countries.

If your footage is a good fit, I may regularly order:

- 30 usable minutes
- 60 usable minutes
- Possibly once or twice per month

You do not need to find a new tourist attraction every time.

Different routes, neighborhoods, parks, shopping areas, seasons, times of day, or other places around your normal daily life are welcome.

Previously delivered identical footage should not be submitted again as new footage.

WHEN APPLYING, PLEASE INCLUDE:

1. Your country and city

2. The smartphone or camera model you use

3. The kinds of places you can easily record without making a special trip

4. Whether you can also record bus or train window views

5. A link to an existing 1–3 minute continuous sample personally recorded by you, if available
- Please use a natural continuous sample rather than a short edited montage if possible
- If you do not have an existing sample, just say so

6. Your price for:
- A paid test of 10–15 usable minutes
- 30 usable minutes
- 60 usable minutes

7. Your price if I order regularly:
- Once per month
- Twice per month

8. Your normal turnaround time

9. Whether the footage you would provide is newly recorded or your own existing footage

Please do not record a new unpaid sample.

Existing footage is enough for the application.

Shortlisted applicants may receive a PAID test of approximately 10–15 usable minutes.

If the paid test works well, I may continue with regular 30–60 minute orders.

I am looking for natural, comfortable-to-watch everyday footage rather than cinematic production.

Thank you.
