Or they can browse by category, exploring such popular subjects as whales, sharks, dolphins, and hundreds more. And if a shot is not available online, clients can immediately make a custom shot request online, to the OceanFootage.com global network of over 100 ocean cinematographers. Depending on the speed of connection, users can choose to see higher-quality online previews, and can also immediately download preview footage for evaluation with their team.

In addition, to better serve ocean cinematographers (who generally prefer being in the water to staying in the office), OceanFootage.com enables them to easily place their digitized footage for sale online.

Its an advantage that returns to the OceanFootage.com customer tenfold, making its collections easy to search and keeping its prices reasonable.

Customers value rapid footage access, including online search, preview, and purchasing capabilities, and thats a key part of the OceanFootage.com service to buyers," adds Baron. And independent ocean cinematographers and stock footage suppliers value the ability to maintain control of the branding, logging, and pricing of the footage they shoot. This level of service to cinematographers remains a big priority for us, and is one reason our site attracts so many highly visible, award-winning providers and their collections."
