Hello – I’m hoping to speak with someone about using 3 1-second shots from a Midway Journey clip we found on youtube for an upcoming documentary about ocean conservation.
Would you mind emailing me so I can pass on more information about the project? I am also contacting Chris Jordan, under separate cover, about his still images.
What you are doing looks extraordinary. Eagerly awaiting your film!
Warmly,
