ABOUT INDEX

Index Stock Shots is one of the few independently owned dedicated 35mm stock shot collections left in today's stock footage industry. For 35+ years its footage has been regularly licensed into television and cinema productions, as well as advertising. Clients range from tv producers to leading ad agencies, from big name corporates to Hollywood studios.

BURNING RUBBER

To understand the Index collection, think graceful flight, think burning rubber as a jetliner touches down, think amazing sunsets on tropical islands, think beautiful landscapes and cityscapes, think magic hour cinematography at its best .... think Index, mostly generic present day but with a few archival treasures such as aircraft of the 1950s, and New York with and without the twin towers.

The Index database catalogues the core of its own material, plus footage from leading cinematographers in the UK and overseas whose material the company represents.

LITTLE PIECES OF TIME

Index's collection contains a myriad of timeless footage and, through the fact it has been adding footage for 35 years, a priceless archive of "little pieces of time" which it would be impossible to recreate -- steam trains, airports with defunct airlines like Eastern and Pan Am, and, through a representation arrangement, Grand Prix motor racing between 1902 and 1939.

The company's speciality is the provision of high quality modern footage depicting places and activities through the eyes of discerning cinematographers. Some things don't age. Elsewhere skylines change, new bridges are built. Index's mission is to nurture the past, but be the key to the present.
