Footage Search, Inc, the stock footage leader of the highly successful NatureFootage, OceanFootage and AdventureFootage collections, announced the expansion of their premium 4K video content, with new submissions from award winning cinematographers worldwide. The 4K footage collection now includes over 10,000 clips, shot with expert composition, lighting, and timing. The new submissions include a diverse range of scenic, aerial, urban, underwater, and wildlife footage from around the world.

With more than five times the amount of information stored in 4K compared to HD, the addition of this footage to Footage Search�s stock footage collections promises to be a tremendous benefit to projects on every scale. Of special note is the ability to alter the 4K footage in terms of scale and color range and still retain absolute clarity of the shot. Productions may choose to pan-and-scan and zoom within a shot and still extract pristine HD quality imagery.

Footage Search founder Dan Baron commented on the expanded collection of 4K video content, "The addition of so many subjects filmed in 4K resolution provides an exceptional resource of premium content suitable for advertisers, feature film, large display productions and all other projects requiring stock footage with the highest-possible production value."

Add to this the use of the latest in camera handling, stabilizing and tracking technologies, and the results are a cinematic feast for the eyes. The Footage Search network of providers have captured life and nature in action around the globe. Shot with exceptional skill and decades of experience, the collection includes rare and unique wildlife behavior, scenic landscape footage from deserts to forests, landmark urban locations, seasonal time-lapse sequences, extensive weather and storms, lock-shot aerial footage, vibrant macro coverage of coral reefs environments, and an extensive collection of underwater footage from Baja California, the North Atlantic, the Pacific, and Australia. Now captured on 4K is rare underwater footage of great white sharks, elusive blue whales feeding, social behavior of sperm whales, enormous schools of fish and predation sequences.

Footage Search offers the 4K clips to license online and provides various master delivery options, including access to the Redcode Raw R3D codec. In addition, Footage Search has produced edited 4K reels which are available to license.
