Couple of days back, I was approached by a producer of an advertising company who expressed her interest in purchasing a part of my video which I had uploaded on my youtube channel. This is the actual correspondence, "Hi, Marcus. I am a Producer with 'xxx' company. We're a local production house that specializes in TV commercials. I am writing to you as I came across your youtube page and had a look at your drone footage of Gardens By the Bay. We're currently working on a Singapore Tourism Board campaign and the footage would be a great addition to the edit we already have in place. I have shared it with the director and he feels it's perfect. We would like to buy a portion of the footage for use in this commercial..."

Apparently, they would like to buy a part of my video to be included in a TV commercial. Of course, I was thrilled with excitement. Long story long, I did a few checks on the legitimacy of this company, clarified afew queries with them on this deal. By the second day, I met up with the folks and closed the deal. My youtube video in an international commercial... I still can't believe it... Can't say it's a dream come true, cos I don't even dare to dream of this...
