Over the past few years I\u2019ve been doing podcast interviews with film composers, and in several cases I\u2019ve created background montages to support the music extracts that appear in both the visual podcast versions on KQEK.com\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>, and in HD extracts at BHA\u2019s YouTube<\/a> and Vimeo channels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naturally, you end up with a wealth of footage that either didn\u2019t make the final cut or was part of interesting tests and trial versions, and it\u2019s been my intention for some time to build up an archive of footage that can be used as stock footage and loops in other people\u2019s projects \u2013 as background textures, pulsing objects and patterns or loops in related musical or DJ-styled content – and all royalty-free for a reasonable fee.<\/p>\n

Those who’ve checked out even a few of the posts here and the aforementioned channels can tell the initial images are captured using vintage tube or CCD cameras, and sometimes bounced between digital and analogue realms before they’re finalized as a layered digital file – an approach that hopefully makes some of the clips in the archive stand out a bit.<\/p>\n

Figuring out a preliminary process and finding the right footage host & sales interface are definite challenges, and from my research I noticed most major commercial stock footage libraries are highly selective in what they take \u2013 largely because they (naturally) don\u2019t want unnecessary duplication of existing stills and clips; they just want the money shots.<\/p>\n

Although I will submit the sexiest pieces to non-exclusive vendors for sale as uncompressed files, for this initial endeavour, the files will have some compression, varying between 1280×720 and 1920×1080 H264 files. However, many of the files can be purchased as uncompressed and \/ or with customized elements (colours) for a different rate directly from me.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m initially proposing is a series of collections that in some cases contain some of the layers of abstract images used in the montages, with two sets of collections to be published each month, with the possibility of a subscription series in the near future.<\/p>\n

For now, though, the inaugural\u00a0collection is derived from my recent podcast with Nima Fakhrara, and stems from three separate montages that support select music extracts (although all stock footage will be 100% silent).<\/p>\n

The trailers for each set need to be finalized, but I\u2019ve already posted an early edit of the Intro section that\u2019ll precede extracts within each trailer:<\/p>\n
