Process

How It Works

• Tell us what you need Send us the details. Species, behaviour, location, timeline, tech specs. The more specific you are, the sharper the search.

• We dig We start with our existing network, then go further to source full sequences and complete stories, not just clips.

• You review and license We come back with a curated set of footage options for your story, ready to license.

• Regular updates No radio silence. We check in on a rhythm that suits you, so you always know where things stand.

• A look at what is already there We can pull a custom inventory report of footage relevant to your production, so you can spot sequences you didn't think to ask for. That character-led moment you needed might already be sitting on someone's drive.

• Quick questions welcome Not ready to post a full request, or just curious what's out there? Send us a message and we'll tap our roster and get back to you fast.

• No surprises in the paperwork You'll know who shot it, where, and exactly what your licence covers before you commit to anything.

• Filmed by people, not prompts No AI, no synthetic frames. Every shot comes from someone who was actually there.

• Footage shot by industry pros Our network is made up of working professionals, and we vet every contributor before they send a single frame.

• Masters, not stock clips You get the original files, ungraded and unedited, ready to hand to your colourist.
