Yellowstone

I wouldn't mind paying a fee to shoot this stuff, but a couple of hundred each day seems crazy and jacking people for little reason.. It's kind of like here in Florida, to shoot in Winter Park, there's a permitting fee of 750 per day.. but its not to raise revenue.. it's to discourage people from shooting in WP... so everyone just shoots around the place...

I am so confused ~ Isn't this the home of Full Sail?? How to be friendly to your own. Sounds like they're taking a page from L.A.

Bureaucrats suck!
 
I know this has nothing to do with video permits, but can't you buy a ~3 month pass to all U.S. National Parks?

I'm planning a trip to visit most of them and I don't want to pay $25 at every one if I don't have to.

Anybody know about doing this? I heard from a friend but I can't find anything about it.

Kevin... Thanks so very much for that.

I've always loved watching your footage and appreciate your very giving nature. So, what are you up to now? Have you thought about getting a DSLR to go along with your 170 or so?

I know a guy doing a film about Glacier N.P. He asked if he shot stills with a D90 on sticks he would not need a permit. They said that was correct. He asked if he then shot video on the D90, would he need a permit. They said yes. Course, I imagine it would be hard to prove that you were shooting video and not stills. I guess shoot a couple insurance stills just in case. :)

Do you know what criteria they use as to what constitutes a "professional" shoot? Obviously making money from it is probably one, but do you know if they consider putting sticks down, regardless of the non-commercial purpose of the video as being grounds for a fee?

I can't see them charging the obvious tourist with the Mickey Mouse ears and the handheld consumer camcorder a fee to shoot a few minutes of Old Faithful. I'm just curious as to where they draw the line.

And I agree with whoever mentioned it, a DSLR with video capability may be necessary if it gets unreasonable.
