FAQ ShotOnSet!

ShotOnSet! focuses mainly on images related to the activities and equipment used in film-making.

ShotOnSet! would like to properly credit photographers with links to their websites and copyright holders as they may differ from the photographer. On our form, we have included places for references, photographer and website, copyright holder and a bunch of other info. We also want to properly credit all the people who appear in the photos as well as identify any and all gear in those photos.

We have comments available on each image page, and encourage people to identify who is in the image as well as who took the image. We will then update the image information on that page. Historical reference is the primary goal of this image aggregation site.  Thank you for participating.

Please REGISTER and LOG IN to use all the features of ShotOnSet. The information is used to link your follow choices and allow you to manage images submitted by you. You retain your image rights. Your information will never be distributed. We may periodically send you updates about the enhancements made to ShotOnSet or to ShotOnWhat?.

ABOUT IMAGES

If you know the name(s) of any one in any image now on the site or if you know the copyright or creator information, please write the information in the comments. We monitor the comments regularly and will update the record.  Thank you for helping.

On the single image pages, we show images at a maximum 750px square. We save our images at a maximum 1920×1200 so that viewers can a click a popup to see the image full screen in the desktop browser window. Keep in mind these dimensions when uploading; small images are hard to read.

We accept jpeg and png files at the moment. You can upload any resolution image up to 10mb in file size to the site. We will take care of the rest. We also strip all the metadata and other information from the images before saving them and presenting them on the website for privacy and security. We do not save the original image uploaded to the site.
