Video education is red hot. For over a year Matthew White and Domenick Propati, CEO of Footage.net have been working to develop
Footage Access, an electronic service that allows students and faculty members at Colleges and Universities to research, download, and have limited free use of stock and archival footage in their non-commercial projects.
After creating an account, users are provided with rights to use any of the content found on Footage Access for educational purposes.
Encouraged by the Library Deans at the University of Maryland and NYU, they started a pilot project on their campuses in early summer and are now rolling it out as the students return to school.
The reception has been electric: Colleges and Universities have been quick to recognize the revolutionary aspect of this subscription service. This would not have been possible just two years ago, as the schools have only recently provided video editing tools like Adobe Premiere to their full enrollment of students. Now that they have the ability to actually edit programs and insert video, the need for a reliable source of stock and archival footage is inevitable and essential.
Footage Access is looking for new footage every day. If you’re interested in learning more about the project check out these links
