Broadcast GVs - Curated 2-3 minute stock footage sequences. £999. Worldwide license. No hidden fees.
Searching for usable b-roll on mainstream stock footage platforms is a miserable experience; I’ve been there. You filter through thousands of low-bitrate, poorly framed clips, pay per shot, discover that global television rights more than double the price at checkout, and end up with five disconnected angles that look like they were shot on five different phones.
Different white balance, different colour space, different vibe.
Broadcast GVs exist to solve that exact problem. These are curated 2 to 3-minute multi-angle stock footage sequences, delivered as a single complete file for £999. One payment buys a flat-fee, worldwide Universal Broadcast License with zero secondary clearance costs, zero cue sheet headaches, and zero hidden renewal fees.
What Are Broadcast GVs and Why Do They Exist?
In traditional broadcast television production, general views (GVs) establish location, tone, and environment. An editor working under a tight deadline does not need twenty disparate single-second clips from twenty different sellers. They need a cohesive, multi-angle visual sequence shot on cinema glass with consistent colour science, deliberate movement, and matching lighting conditions. Something that makes sense editorially.
Each Broadcast GV pack is a carefully assembled 2 to 3-minute stringout of a specific theme, location, or phenomenon. Instead of hunting down individual angles across a bloated database, you license a complete visual scene in one transaction.
What You Get in a £999 Broadcast GV Sequence
Complete Sequence Master: A 2 to 3-minute edited sequence delivered as a single, broadcast-ready file. 4K.
Included Audio Track: Unlike raw rushes clip packs, Broadcast GVs include audio attached to the sequence file. You are licensed to use that ambient sound directly in your edit timeline.
Burned-In Direct Shot Reference Codes: Every shot within the preview sequence contains a text reference code. This allows production teams, edit assistants, and directors to track exact shots back to my archive for extended layouts or full-length master upgrades.
Universal Broadcast Clearance: Cleared for global TV, theatrical release, VOD, streaming, promos, and perpetual social media deployment. Full terms apply.
The UPGRADE Workflow: Extending Shots to Full Length
A common issue with sequence packs on traditional sites is clip length. A 3-second cut in a sequence might fit a tight montage, but your documentary cut might demand an uncut 15-second wide shot for an opening title.
Sometimes, as has happened to me. That awesome shot the producer sees during a montage, they later decide they want 30 seconds of to close the show.
The UPGRADE system handles this cleanly:
You license and download the Broadcast GVs sequence file for £999.
During the edit, you identify a specific shot inside the sequence that needs to run longer than the cut provided.
You locate the burned-in reference code displayed on that shot in the preview file.
Type that specific code into the UPGRADE purchase (or contact me!).
You receive the individual, full-length, uncut 4K master clip file (delivered dry, without audio, for clean timeline mixing) for just £99 per shot.
This approach gives post-production teams maximum flexibility. You lock down the master sequence upfront for your timeline, and if a scene demands extended shot durations, you pull the full master clip for a nominal add-on fee without re-licensing the entire package.
*** For use only after purchasing a Broadcast GVs or VIGNETTES package ***
Use this to upgrade any individual clip from a Broadcast GVs or Vignettes package to the full-length clip from the stock footage library.
If you have not purchased the Vignettes or Broadcast GVa package, this cannot be used. Please license the clip using the SELECT service, thank you.
Licensing Options Across the Archive
Production workflows vary. Some projects need a curated 3-minute sequence; others need raw 4K dumps, hand-picked single assets, short transitional cuts, or native vertical assets. Here is how the rest of the catalog is structured:
1. SELECT (Single Clips and Credit Bundles)
If you do not require a full sequence and only need hand-picked individual clips, SELECT allows you to pick standalone assets directly from the archive.
Credit System: 1 Credit equals 1 standalone individual video clip master file.
No Expiration: Credits purchased through SELECT bundles never expire. You can redeem them immediately or bank them for future projects weeks or months down the line.
Fast Delivery: Once your selection form is submitted with your required clip codes, delivery links are generated within 24 hours (and usually within 1 hour).
Delivered Dry: Standalone SELECT master clips are delivered entirely dry (without ambient sound) to maintain clean broadcast timeline workflows.
Don't need the full pack? Just grab the hero shot.
The SELECT license gives you total freedom. It allows you to hand-pick ANY individual video clip from my entire archive of over 20,408 files—whether it’s a specific Snowdonia Cloud Inversion moment, a Manchester Drone Shot, or a candid Street Photography clip.
Choose Your License Package: You can license a single clip for a specific project, or buy a bundle to secure heavy discounts for your production.
Single Clip License: £199
5 Clip Bundle: £895 (Save £100)
10 Clip Bundle: £1,495 (Save £495)
25 Clip Bundle: £2,995 (Save £1,980) – Best Value
Bank Your Credits: Don't need all the clips right now? No problem. I operate a Credit System similar to major agencies like Shutterstock or Pond5. You can purchase the 25-clip bundle to lock in the massive saving, download the 20 clips you need, and bank the remaining 5 credits for a future project. Your credits remain valid until you are ready to use them.
How It Works:
Browse: Look through the library and identify the specific clips you need.
Select: Choose your bundle size from the dropdown menu below.
Purchase: Complete the checkout.
Download: Fill in the form to identify your clips. I will then send the high-resolution download links directly to you.
The Guarantee:
Broadcast Ready
Simple Rights: Royalty-Free, cleared for TV/Film/Web, worldwide, in perpetuity. No hidden fees. Full terms apply.
No AI: 100% authentic footage filmed by a human professional.
*For big TV and film projects, I’m usually happy to send out screeners for your edit, invoicing later for what is to be used. Please contact me with requests.
2. RUSHES Packs
For comprehensive regional or thematic coverage, RUSHES packs provide the raw, unedited 4K footage organised by location and subject matter. These are designed for editors who want full control over cutting every frame themselves. Use code RUSHES20 at checkout for 20% off any RUSHES purchase.
3. Vignettes (£399)
Premium 30-second cinematic sequences designed specifically for high-impact transitions, brand film commercial breaks, or short digital storytelling. Like Broadcast GVs, ambient audio is included with the download file.
4. Vertical Video (£199)
Native 9:16 Vertical HD (1080x1920) cuts framed specifically for social channels, mobile-first broadcasts, and vertical display installs. These vertical cuts are pulled directly from native 3840x2160 4K masters. The watermark codes on vertical previews point back directly to the horizontal 16:9 4K master files if your edit expands back to horizontal broadcast format.
5. ULTIMATE Archive Buyout (£100,000)
For major production houses, broadcast networks, or agencies needing a complete, permanent 4K video asset library on tap.

Territory: Worldwide / Global distribution.
Term: In perpetuity (your rights never expire).
Media: TV broadcast, theatrical release, VOD streaming platforms, corporate media, promos, and digital/social media platforms.
No Hidden Fees: No cue sheet filing required, no territorial restrictions, no secondary royalty billing, and no annual subscription renewals.

Prohibited Uses (Strict Anti-AI Policy)
To protect the integrity of the footage and respect real human craftsmanship, clear boundaries apply:

No False Endorsement: Usage that implies direct corporate endorsement without authorisation is prohibited.
The Reality Behind the Archive: Optical Reality, Not AI Slop
It is easy to look at a £999 sequence or a £100,000 complete library buyout and wonder what goes into that value.
Building an archive of authentic 4K footage across extreme weather conditions, remote British landscapes, and restricted urban centres requires significant physical effort, long-term capital, and time. If a production company were to commission this from scratch, the receipt to hire a broadcast crew, rent the gear, and process 152 hours of cinematic optical reality would exceed £1,125,000. That includes 500 shoot days, 200 weather delays, heavy equipment rental, permits, travel, and over 300 post-production edit days.
Beyond the commercial figures, this archive represents a massive human toll. This footage is the direct result of my filming adventures, sometimes documented on YouTube. It is real physical exertion. It is over ten years dedicated exclusively to capturing optical reality across the UK and sometimes beyond. It is 60,000 miles driven on the road and over six million steps logged in heavy hiking boots. It means carrying 25kg camera packs up more than 100 mountain summits. It means surviving 100 freezing nights in a wild camping tent on mountain ridges waiting for blue-hour light. It means consuming endless cold Pot Noodles at altitude and suffering severe sense-of-humour failures in the pouring Welsh rain.
That is what goes into capturing true optical reality. It is genuine, independent, physically demanding fieldwork. It is cinematic and utterly unique.
Production companies are moving away from traditional microstock subscription platforms like Shutterstock or Pond5 because those sites are flooded with synthetic, overused, AI-generated video showing broken physics and weird motion artefacts. Every frame in this library represents real optical physics captured through cinema lenses. When you buy a Broadcast GV sequence here, every shot belongs to the same cameraman, often with the same colour profile and lighting condition. You are dealing directly with the cinematographer who stood in the mud and operated the camera.
