for Immediate Licensing at OceanFootage

Pacific Grove, CA. January 11, 2005 – OceanFootage specializes in the world’s most spectacular moving images of the great blue sea – above and below its surface. And now those seeking ocean footage will see into its depths more clearly than ever, thanks to the stock footage provider’s incredible expansion of its High Definition (HD) collection. OceanFootage already offered over 25 hours of superb HD footage online, so the addition to this collection of over 25 hours of new HD footage makes the collection truly world-class, with more moving images from some of the best ocean cinematographers on the planet. Best of all, the entire collection is available now for online search, preview, purchase and delivery.

Contributors to the collection include some of the most widely acclaimed ocean cinematographers in the world, including such award-winners as Howard Hall, Bob Cranston, Pawel Achtel, Richard Fitzpatrick, Daniel Zatz, and many more. The subjects covered in the collection are as varied as the overall OceanFootage collection, and include extraordinary footage of Sharks, Whales, Dolphins, Coral Reefs, a rich variety of other Marine Life, as well as Waves, Elements, and Aerials.

The demand for HD footage has increased steadily over the past few years, including use for television programming, feature films, commercial advertising and exhibits. OceanFootage provides a huge amount of brand-new material in HD, with formats ranging from 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 720p, and the new HDV format.

“High-definition is the fastest growing format in our collection, with more than 50 hours already available online, and new footage available monthly. The collection is exactly what our clients require – a wide array of stunning ocean subjects above and below the sea – and in the latest HD formats,” comments OceanFootage founder and president Dan Baron. Baron’s favorite moments in the collection include swarms of sharks, aerials off the coast of Australia, and unique footage of the rare Humboldt Squid.

OceanFootage can also track down almost any shot imaginable, and in the exact format the customer needs. If the shot is not readily available online, a Shot Request can be submitted to their network of over 150 cinematographers worldwide. Even more HD footage will be available in the near future as well – with 50-100 hours of brand-new High-Definition footage anticipated for early 2005.
