"Our roots in TV and Cinema commercials production have been invaluable throughout this time, as we have seen radical changes in the way we and our clients work - from sending preview clips and master material by courier, to having fully searchable websites, and delivery within minutes of even HD clips by FTP.
The only thing we sometimes miss is having adequate time to do in-depth research. We used to get several months on big projects, but nowadays a few days or even hours, is the norm."
Stock Options has assembled a pool of talented and acclaimed contributors who supply the growing body of work on www.stockoptions.co.za - which is known globally for the strength of its African content. The company distributes this content internationally via several major international distributors with whom they have developed excellent relationships over two decades.
The company is well known in international circles, where the high production values and relevance of its core collection, are admired - along with its film-savvy approach. "As we celebrate 20 great years in the business, we can reflect on our achievement of representing a formidable 4 out of the 'big 5' of international footage companies: Corbis Motion (including Thought Equity), BBC Motion Gallery and Framepool - in addition to many smaller specialist suppliers of motion content. Obviously managing these millions of clips on our website is not a feasible option, but our research enables us to deliver these resources to clients swiftly."
Stock Options prides itself in providing a full service operation around stock footage (currently referred to as "Motion Content"). Additional services include specialist Film Research - for very specific hard-to-find content, and Rights & Clearances - which negotiates the often complex rights attached to sporting and entertainment personalities and events and feature films on behalf of its clients.
