NHNZ’s stock footage archive Moving Images has secured exclusive rights to sell Tightlines’ action-packed game fishing footage from Matt Watson’s Fishing Show.

The collection of over 1500 clips features a wide diversity of the Southern Ocean's target species - on the hook and in the water - including Kingfish, Marlin, Tuna, Hapuka (Groper) and Snapper.

NHNZ Moving Images director Caroline Cook says the collection is a boon for the archive.

“This collection has something for everyone working on underwater concepts: big game fishing action, great behaviours and human animal interactions, the list goes on and on. There are multi-shot options with pole cam and tow rig shots available.”

Like all our footage, NHNZ Moving Images’ across-the-board rate of US$40 per second, all media (excluding theatrical), no minimums applies to the Tightlines collection, including free research, low tech fees, and no kill fees.

NHNZ Moving Images today announced a new stock footage licensing package for editorial and documentary use of its content.

The new rate of US$40 per second, no minimums, for all media worldwide in perpetuity has been published to complement the production-friendly terms clients have come to expect from Moving Images - with free research, low tech fees, and no kill fees.

NHNZ Moving Images Director, Caroline Cook says the new licensing package, which is available to all producers, has been designed around the changing needs of productions in this new era of television and digital platforms.

“We are changing the way we do business with our clients by addressing the budget imperative, and acknowledging rights must take into account the need to license across “all media worldwide in perpetuity” as the standard; not the exception. 

“We want to make it easier for our clients to tell their stories by providing a package that fits ever-tightening budgets, while still delivering broadcast-quality content of the highest standards, as demanded by international broadcasters.

“The significant Moving Images archive of 200,000 hours of broadcast quality footage is now open to the wider production market and available for use across all media in today’s multi-platform environment. We believe it’s the best licensing package out there.”

The new editorial and documentary rate applies to all NHNZ Moving Images’ on-line content.

Advertising, Theatrical and all other licensing options and pricing can be negotiated directly with the NHNZ Moving Images sales team at images@nhnz.tv.

NHNZ SIGNS FOOTAGE DEAL WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNELS WORLDWIDE

National Geographic Channels Worldwide has chosen NHNZ’s Moving Images to be the footage sales agent for more than 20 years of accumulated footage from its blue-chip factual programming library, including hundreds of hours of HD footage.

The film archive deal adds thousands of hours of new footage to NHNZ Moving Images’ collection and provides a goldmine of fresh HD material, says Caroline Cook, Manager of NHNZ Moving Images.

“This is a real coup for NHNZ Moving Images. There is a significant market crying out for archive HD material and to date there hasn’t been a lot of fresh new content out there.

“The NGCI collection contains a huge variety of stunning footage. Unique animal behaviours, amazing establishing shots, aerials, time-lapse, CGI and slow motion shots – you name it and you’ll find it in this collection.”

Germaine Deagan Sweet, Vice President, Global Content Sales at National Geographic Channels, says NGC saw an opportunity to increase its revenue streams for its production investments through licensing.

“National Geographic Channel has a longstanding reputation for brilliant, high-quality imagery, and we wanted to provide producers with a broader opportunity to access the incredible breadth of our inventory with footage that has captivated audiences worldwide.  NHNZ’s Moving Images was a natural fit for this, and National Geographic Channels Worldwide is happy to partner with NHNZ on the venture.”

She says the footage collection represents many award–winning series and programmes including Living Edens, Known Universe, Megastructures, Shark Men, Secret Bible and Perilous Journeys, and spans core genres ranging from natural history and science to culture and engineering.

NHNZ General Manager, John Crawford describes the deal as a “significant boost” to the content of NHNZ’s stock footage library, which already holds over 200,000 hours of footage from its own productions and the many award-winning production houses and filmmakers it represents.

NHNZ Moving Images has been meticulous about selecting clips, and inputting high quality key wording to enable footage buyers to quickly access the NGCI collection through its website www.nhnzmovingimages.com

“We’ve also recently changed our purchasing model,” says Mr Crawford.  “There are no “killing fees”, no minimum order and it sells by the second not the clip. To make viewing and ordering easier entire sequences are placed online rather than breaking them up into short clips.”

Not many climbers realise their dream of climbing the highest mountain on earth, and even fewer do so for a living. Guy Cotter of Wanaka New Zaland is one such climber, who not only safely guides others to the summit of Mt Everest but has also, through sheer determination, captured the entire expedition on tape. Many people manage to capture the early stages of the ascent, but few have the strength and tenacity to keep filming right to the summit, when enegry levels are in deficit and every breathe is agony - so this footage is indeed rare and extraordinary. Cotter's footage is shot on Sony DV - 4x3 during the 1997 expedition, and Sony HDV 1080i / 25fps  – 16x9 on his 2007 trip.  To see more Everest Stock Footage here contact us with your request.

Australia's birds and wildlife are represented amongst the footage: from black necked storks and black cockatoos to wallabies and water buffalo. A wide range of domestic and native wildlife footage is available. Water buffalo were introduced into Australia in the 19th century from Indonesia and can be found in the wild, especially in the coastal wet areas. A growing domesticated industry emerged in north Australia in the 1980s.

Also featured is the rare and endangered Australian native bilby, a desert-dwelling bandicoot with huge leathery ears like a rabbit and a long tail and snout. The bilby is a nocturnal marsupial omnivore whose pouch opens backward so as not to be filled with soil while digging. Footage of Australia's largest native worm, the Giant Gippsland Earthworm, is included. It is a protected species because of its decline in population. Disturbance to habitat and the use of pesticides and herbicides are blamed for this.

Sugar is a major contributor to the Queensland economy, produced from sugar cane grown on the coastal plains and river valleys. Narrow gauge steam trains known as Puffing Billys, once hauled sugar cane from the farm to the mill all along the Queensland coast. There are some twenty mills and two sugar refineries in Queensland, the refineries situated at Mackay and Bundaberg. Footage associated with sugar cane production and transportation is included. Industries associated with sugar production have developed in the area, like rum production i n Bundaberg and chocolate. The sale of chocolate bilbies at Easter instead of the more traditional eggs, was used to raise funds to support the endangered bilby.

There are diverse landscapes in Queensland: arid uplands and wet coastal plains; tropical rainforest, mangroves and stunning beaches; spectacular national parks and tropical islands. Footage of ideal holiday destinations is available to help get you through the last of the winter's chill: scenics of bush-covered hillsides dropping down to golden sandy beaches, with waves lapping gently on the shore, shady swimming holes, and yachts bobbing gently in the marina.

In 2005, a decommissioned warship, the HMAS Brisbane, was sunk as an artificial reef and dive site. The ship was scuttled after careful and extensive preparation and one last journey along the coast to its final resting place east of Mudjumba Island off the Sunshine Coast. We have been provided with footage of the preparation and last journey of the warship, plus extensive shipping related material.

All this is available on HDCAM 1080/50i, as is the following footage taken in China.

In 1995 Geoff Mackley rocketed from relative obscurity to cult hero status when he scaled an erupting New Zealand volcano in pitch darkness to capture the action from the crater's edge. Since then he has photographed countless natural disasters and their aftermath forging a reputation as one of the world's ultimate storm chasers.

When it comes to promoting Mackley's collection, unique is an understatement. From the edge of the crater to the eye of the storm his images showcase mother nature at her worst (or best in Geoff's opinion) making adjectives like death-defying, dangerous and downright crazy more apt when it comes to describing his portfolio.

Geoff goes to extreme lengths to be first on the scene and is entrusting NHNZ to represent the resulting footage while he gets on with the serious business of storm chasing!

Filmed with a Panasonic AJ-D800 DVC Pro digital camera (PAL) NHNZ has Geoff's entire collection of exclusive, stunning HD footage for inclusion in documentaries, news reports, first on the scene accounts, educational programmes and advertising. Geoff Mackley at Mount Etna.

We will have his footage first, and to you fast.

From the erupting mouth of a volcano in Indonesia, or the path of a hurricane in Belize to the train of a tornado in Kansas, this adrenalin junky has a hard earned reputation for exclusively capturing catastrophic events.

Working as a freelance photographer since 1980 specialising in filming breaking news, a decade later Geoff began taking a video camera along to emergencies and soon attracted the attention of networks around the world as consistently being the first person into disaster zones.

His explosive images captured at Mt Ruapehu in 1995 changed the landscape and Geoff forever. From that moment on the talented cameraman was hooked. Using the highest tech equipment available, he tracks every disaster from his home in Auckland venturing to the most extreme environments for the ultimate accolade of first on the scene. The result is intense, riveting and at times horrifying footage.

Whether it's erupting volcanoes, hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons or tornadoes, chances are he's shot it - and lived to tell the tale. Not surprisingly Geoff has also been a magnet for media attention as his work spawned a new breed of reality media. Despite the glare of the limelight, storm chasing remains this intrepid Kiwi's primary focus. The resulting footage is high impact, arresting and, as Geoff can attest, highly addictive.

NHNZ has recently expanded its HD collection through becoming agents for several companies. Although having just recently joined the list of companies we represent, Gulliver Media have been independent film makers since 1981 and specialise in wildlife and natural history projects. Gulliver also produces a wide variety of educational video programs on topic areas such as ecosystems, conservation and sustainability. As well as filming Australian wildlife and landscapes, they have also filmed in China.

HD from China

We have footage shot in and around Beijing and Shanghai plus some showing life in provincial cities and more rural scenes. There is some time-lapse footage as well.

Australian SD

In addition to the HD footage, Gulliver Media has also sent some in standard definition on BetaSP. This is mainly shot in more arid landscapes and includes drought footage. Exploitation of the country's mineral wealth, particularly of iron ore, is also featured. More native wildlife and especially birds are included.

Wild, fast and fun, Super Scavengers Stock Footage takes in search of the truth - the real truth - about scavengers. Australian zoologist Chris Coupland is an authority on the Tasmanian Devil, a tough marsupial carnivore that's also a scavenger. Chris's day job is to care for, and educate the public, about these unique Australian animals. Interestingly, some biologists believe that only two animals have stronger jaws than the Tasmanian Devil, the great white shark and the hyena. Chris broadens his horizons in this programme, leaving Tasmania in search of the world's iconic scavenger species, including the vulture, dingo, jackal and hyena.

Nature's great opportunists, scavengers are feared and loathed in the environments they inhabit. But Chris aims to change that as he teaches the world about the animals close to his heart. He will referee an eating competition between dingo pups; narrowly avoid giving his fingers to a Cape Griffin vulture; have his room trashed by a gang of partying baboons; and watch opportunistic jackals at work on the African coast. Super Scavengers shows these species doing what they are best known for.

It was while shooting for this programme that NHNZ producer and director Judith Curran was attacked by a leopard, sustaining serious injuries. This programme was produced for Discovery Channel. Footage was shot on DVC Pro, MiniDV and DigiBeta.
