Footage

In this reference guide to some 3,000 film and video image collections, and to the process of researching, screening, and licensing such footage, even the ads are entertainingly reflective of the industry (e.g. "If you can't bring yourself to shoot it, call us."). The source information, listed in standardized alphabetical entries by country within geographic region, was solicited by questionnaire and personal contacts. Contains conveniently-tabbed indexes by: sources and collections, geographic area, subject, related services (e.g. industry professionals, digital products/services, and researcher rights and clearances), and advertisers.
