MASTERSHOT

The Aerial Collection

MASTERSHOT is our constantly growing collection of royalty-free aerial video and stills.

From early 08 you will be able to keyword search the collection online. You will also be able to download free Quicktime lo-res clips for use in an offline edit, returning later to purchase the hi-res material.

All MASTERSHOTs are shot by us, chosen by us, graded by us using our in-house helicopters, cameras and technology. We do not buy-in material - and all our shots are stabilised contemporary aerials. In video, we shoot 16:9 fully digital SD on digiBeta and all shots are as long as possible. The price ? Royalty-free, a shot for a UK tv broadcast with a 10 year licence is £275+VAT.

Stills are hi-res 6mb files shot using a Canon EOS with stabilised lenses.

Final video delivery can be either uncompressed Quicktime files on a disc (perfect for Final Cut Pro) or digiBeta tape. We can also dub to DVCAM. We charge one simple fee for dubbing, no matter what the stock and no matter how many shots.

The buying process will be kept as simple as possible and conducted online. However, you will need to register with us in order to purchase and you will need to return a signed copy of the licence before we send material to you.

In the meantime, enjoy our work on this promo for London material. It has been graded for anti-piracy. You will need Flash 9 to view - and of course, as good as the web has got, the frame rates are not perfect. This promo is available on DVD foc.
