If you produce footage you might want to check out a couple of new sights.
The first is the
Stock Footage Newsroom where there are short summaries and links to full articles produced by Footage.net. This site will keep you up to date with what is happening at as number of footage distributors.
The other is
B-rollStock.com. This site based in Orlando, FL and started by two native Russians, Yana Nesterova and Alex Fedotov, takes a slightly different approach to selling clips than most of the traditional stock footage sites.
Instead, of selling single clips they offer a B-roll package containing 4 to 7 clips that cover the same subject or topic from different angles and types of shots. The package prices vary with some at $199 and others at $299 and $349 depending on the subject matter.
For some customers these packages can save time because they can cover all their b-roll needs for a particular story with one download. They also provide consistency mastering in that all the clips in each package are created by the same artist, using the same techniques. This reduces reducing to a minimum the time spent in post-production “tweaking” the clips to make them match.
