Previously specializing exclusively in rights-managed deep-content footage, New Jersey-based boutique Global ImageWorks has announced the launch of a royalty-free footage division.
The initial inventory contains more than 3,000 clips. Originally shot in either high-definition, 4k, Red or Red One formats, the clips are being made available in both native formats and SD or smaller sizes for online and mobile uses. Subject matter ranges from aerials and clouds to green energy, medicine, people, and various location-specific and nature-related categories.
According to Global ImageWorks, the royalty-free collection launches in response to footage buyers seeking more competitive pricing “in a world of shrinking budgets and a growing need for all rights in all media licenses.”
