Why I started canadastockfootage.com!
A passion for shooting stock footage
I’ve been shooting stock footage since 2008, working under the name orbitrob for agencies like istock, Pond5 and shutterstock. During that time I’ve licensed over 20,000 clips to customers, and have had work featured in ads for Amazon, Bell, Visa and the Province of Ontario. While I enjoy working with stock agencies, I always felt there was a better way to serve my customers.
The problem with searching for Canadian content on stock agencies
- The big US agencies are great, but there's often no way to guarantee if the content you're finding was actually shot in Canada! (which can be a problem for Canadian brands and companies).
- You can also end up with a jumble of clips, by different film-makers shooting with different styles, that can result in an inconsistent look in your project.
- Other stock agencies also make it really hard to contact the film-maker if you have questions.
A solution for finding great Canadian content
At canadastockfootage.com we aim to be a better solution for our customers.
1. We guarantee that everything on the site is 100% shot in Canada.
2. If you have questions about how, when, or where a clip was shot we can help, because we're the film-makers behind the content. (You can also get access to original RAW files if you need them).
3. You'll find a collection of Canadian footage that's both visually striking and shot with a consistent style, which helps give your project a more cohesive look.
Please take a look around the site and if you have any questions please reach out. We look forward to meeting you!
