If you’ve ever looked for stock media elements—photos, music, or video—on the internet you know that there is quite a lot of it available. But what’s the best way to find, acquire, and use the right stock media? And what about selling into the stock media market? Is it a business that might make sense for you?

These are the issues we’ll cover this month with our guests: award-winning writer/producer/director and stock footage library owner Marilyn Petrokubi of TimeSteps Productions, Inc. and Phil Leo, one of today’s leading stock photographers.

With a Masters degree from Rutgers University in Library Science, Ms. Petrokubi began her career as a professional librarian specializing in film, research and library management. This lead to designing film and video stock footage libraries for clients such as AT&T and Bell Labs. By the mid ‘80s, Ms. Petrokubi began to assemble her own stock footage collection of historical scenes from 1895-1960, which has become the TimeSteps Stock Footage Library.

A natural progression led from research and writing to production work for film studios, advertising agencies and corporations, including Columbia Pictures, L.L. Bean, AT&T and Chase Manhattan. Her award-winning credits include: The Invention of Gasoline for Exxon, 100th Anniversary of Johnson & Johnson, A Second Chance for New York Blood Center, and many others.

Based in Montclair, NJ, Phil has been a professional photographer for 15 years and has been with Getty Images since it’s inception in 1995. In 1999 Phil joined forces with fellow stock shooter Michael Denora to form the production Company, PM Images. Through Getty and PM, Phil’s images are licensed for use throughout the world in every form of media. Currently Phil is busy with “Expression in Motion,” using dancers, athletes and martial artists to create unique conceptual images.

Both guests will show examples of their work and talk about the creative and business side of the stock media industry.

If this meeting sounds intriguing, now would be a good time to join PMCA. Our board is always looking for people who are excited about the video or electronic media profession and want to help us make the organization successful and rewarding.
