Content Description

Launched in June 2004, BBC Motion Gallery makes available content from the BBC archive for the very first time. Footage has been derived from broadcast programming and, in many cases, from programme rushes thus much of the content has never been seen before.

BBC Motion Gallery, a division of BBC Worldwide Limited, offers media professionals in advertising, television, film and corporate video production access to the worlds most comprehensive collection of high-quality motion imagery for licensing worldwide. With more than 500 million feet of film and 300,000 hours of video, BBC Motion Gallery encompasses a wealth of content covering natural history, sport, news, locations, art, music, celebrities, culture and more.

BBC Motion Gallery also exclusively represents a number of additional archives, both broadcast and more niche collections. On the broadcast side these include CBS News (US), ABC (Australia) and NHK (Japan) which offers superb HD content. Other collections represented include Huntley (social history), Nugus / Martin (historical / war footage), Ripcurl (surfing and lifestyle) and The Urban Freestyler (football skills). BBC Motion Gallery operates from offices in London and regional offices in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Paris.

The Motion Gallery website has 30,000 clips ready for download. These clips are typically 5 to 20 seconds in duration and each clip is watermarked and has an individual identification number. Users can search by title (eg sunset, dog, countryside) or by concept / idea (eg teamwork, success, failure). A search can be a simple one word activity or users can link words to come up with more detailed and precise results.

An individual clip would be sold commercially at a minimum price of £100.

Content is constantly being refreshed and new clips are added at a rate of 1000 per month. Future plans for the website include :

-          Many clips (especially those which are news-related) will have sound added (Sep / Oct 2006)

-          Themed royalty free (stock footage material) packages will be added (Sep / Oct 2006)

-          Further archive representations will be announced, including additional broadcasters, independent companies and specialist collections

BBC Motion Gallery would welcome feedback from each educational establishment with regards to content areas of interest.
