FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Musicbed, a global provider of premium music for the world's leading filmmakers, TV producers, brands and agencies, today announced the launch of Filmsupply – a groundbreaking film footage licensing offering to complement Musicbed's highly curated music library. Filmsupply offers thousands of beautiful Full HD (1080p) and 4K film clips from visionary filmmakers, including Shane Hurlbut, Philip Bloom and Salomon Ligthelm, for licensing by other filmmakers, TV producers, brands and agencies. Through its global network of more than 220 exclusive and hand-picked contributors, Filmsupply will also facilitate the creation of custom footage, giving customers the opportunity to quickly get any clip they can imagine, from anywhere in the world.
"For years, film directors and producers have looked to Musicbed for quality music to help tell their stories, while also supporting great musicians," said Daniel McCarthy, founder and CEO of Musicbed and Filmsupply. "We are launching Filmsupply to further connect and serve our community of filmmakers, giving them a way to monetize hours and hours of amazing footage that was previously left on the cutting room floor. "
With highly curated and cohesive collections of ready-made scenes arranged by filmmaker, Filmsupply raises the quality bar set by stock sites where users search through an endless number of clips that are mostly shot by photographers and videographers. Filmsupply's contributors include celebrated and award-winning cinematographers and more than 75 percent of the site's footage is available in 4K.
"No matter where you insert it, stock will always look like stock," said world-renowned cinematographer Shane Hurlbut, ASC. "With Filmsupply, you don't have to sort through low quality content because they have pre-screened it to give you the best."
Just as it has built upon Musicbed, Filmsupply will continue to expand its collections from top filmmakers and add new, helpful features to serve its customers.
