In November of 2005, I agreed to work with GoFootage.com, an Internet, video-production company out of New York. They agreed that I would log some footage for a shoot and edit a wedding video. I've been waiting since then and still have not received funds. He always was out on shoots and had no way to contact me, even though the invention of cell phones has allowed even the biggest corporate professionals to maintain contact with their clients. Even still, I'm pretty certain GoFootage.com has not gotten there yet.
At first he claimed that he had not received payment from the clients he was working with and my payment would come when he received his portion. I waited patiently and then just this past May I came to Vancouver, Canada where he was located at the time and tried to collect the money. He gave me some contact numbers and wrote me a personal check, so I thought. He asked me not to cash it until the beginning of June. It's June now, and suddenly the contact numbers are no longer in service, and coincidentally, every time I have gone to cash the check, no funds are available.
If anyone is thinking about working or doing any business with GoFootage.com, work at your own risk. He's a big talker, always full of talk about all the big people he works for, but has nothing to show as far as money to compensate you.
