What a city of art and craft orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | What they require |
|---|---|---|
| A leather or paper workshop | The gesture and the material | A close shot, no music |
| A boutique hotel | The room and breakfast | Natural light |
| A fashion brand | The fit and the cut | Faithful colour rendering |
What heritage forbids or regulates
Filming for commercial purposes in a museum or near a monument may require a paid permit. The rule depends on the site, and is asked of its manager before blocking a shooting date.
What makes a craft shot sellable
Silence and duration. A gesture filmed continuously for fifteen seconds, with the real sound of the tool, beats a fast edit that stops you seeing what is being done.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you declare your languages, you are visible by category and country, and the order keeps a record of the brief and the delivery. The brand pays at ordering, the funds are not released straight away, and payment goes out on approval. The platform retains 10% of the price on the creator side, who therefore keeps 90%, and charges the brand a 6% service fee, with a minimum of 1.50 EUR.
One last marker: here, your value is measured in millimetres of sharpness. It is a technical skill, and it is invoiced as one.
