To start, you’ll need to submit a compilation of your best footage. Once your initial submission is accepted, you can submit additional material at any time.
The following is the information you will need in order to submit your footage.
QUALITY STANDARDS
Video quality standards are a key priority for Footage Search. All footage must be acquired on High Definition, 16 or 35mm film, HDV, Digital Betacam, Betacam SP, DVCam, MiniDV (3-chip cameras only), or other digital video formats. Your footage should be assembled in a way that ensures no (or minimal) loss of quality.Additional Factors Include:
Footage Search reserves the right to deny clips that do no meet these standards.
MEDIA SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Media can be submitted on a Master Compilation Tape (MCT) and/or as digital files (SD or HD formats) on a hard drive (which we will return) or data DVD. Your submission media should have NO visible timecode or watermarks, and should be assembled in a way that ensures no, or minimal, loss of quality (e.g., via SDI or Firewire for digital formats or via Component for analog formats).
Each shot should be at least 10 seconds, and no longer than 30 seconds unless absolutely necessary. The shot you submit is the exact product that will be licensed. Add a 1-2 second handle at the beginning and end of any significant action (e.g., shark swims through frame). For tape submissions, each shot must be separated by approximately 2 seconds of black. There must be NO transitions between shots.
