I have contacted this company in Vancouver, BC Canada several times about payment for a story I did for them last year. It's been way over the usual 90 period and I still never got paid. I only got one payment from them for the first story I did but never the second. They don't answer their phones or emails, I have emailed them several times and no response. They only responded to me once or twice and lied to me that I was going to get paid when the woman in accounting came back from vacation. Well, it's like they took a huge dump on me and lied to my face and I never received a dime from this company!
I will sue this company if I don't collect what is owed to me! They are con-artists and liars. They even lowered their pay rate to $50 from $100 and changed their demographic to 23-34 year olds! That is very unprofessional for them to do that and I will not work for this company again if they don't bother to pay what is owed to me. I did the work, now I want to be paid!
Don't ever work for companies like this outside the United States. They will ignore you, lie, and take you for a ride! I hope this whole fraudulent venture goes out of business and down the toilet! They will pay and get what's coming to them!

We've been in business producing video content across North America since 2006. Through our cloud based video content production platforms we provide resale, white-label, and on-demand video production services for hundreds of clients which include web services companies, digital agencies, publishers, and broadcasters. We work with a nationwide network of over 3000 videographers and pay for all content produced for us which meets our strict quality control requirements.
Like any business we occasionally have problems with the quality of work that an individual delivers and it's our policy to ask for changes or improvements sufficient for the content to be accepted. Because our number one priority is to provide our clients with the highest quality of video content available we offer videographers fees which are better than market rates in most cases.
We're incredibly proud of the fact that we've developed and fostered strong, loyal business relationships with videographers, editors, producers and clients across North America.
