What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for dazzling, amazing, significant, and staggeringly beautiful content of all categories and genres, including:
Classic Stock Video and Photos: fashion, lifestyle, sports, and location-based media
Editorial and News Content
Motion Graphics, Motion Backgrounds, and VJ Loops
Archival Media From All Eras
Music Beds and Beats
Sound Effects and Ambient Noise
Original Songs, Both Digital and Recorded
Regardless of the style of your stock media, it should be of extremely high quality. Commercially-oriented work should be professionally shot or recorded and carefully chosen. Editorial and archival content should be informative, powerful, and tagged with accurate contextual information. Please use your good judgement in uploading your clips, and upload only those clips that are likely to be commercially viable.
