New Birmingham Stock Footage Rushes: Sunset Cityscapes, Spaghetti Junction, and Massive Archive Discounts
The archive has expanded again.
Recently, I have released five brand new Birmingham stock footage packs. They cover the city at sunset, the intricate concrete maze of Spaghetti Junction, and experimental aerial techniques.
To coincide with these new releases, I am cutting the prices on several of my largest, most popular Birmingham stock footage mega packs. These are substantial discounts on thousands of clips. The sale prices could end at any moment, so if you are an editor, producer, or post-production house needing comprehensive coverage of the Second City, the time to acquire these assets is now.
The New Releases: Packs 335 to 339
These five new packs represent hours of targeted drone flights over Birmingham. The focus for this shoot was capturing the transition of light as day turns to night over the city centre, alongside detailed, complex aerial mapping of the UK's most famous motorway interchange.
Pack 335: Birmingham North - Sunset Cityscapes
This pack focuses on the northern approach to the city centre as the sun goes down.
This collection features 82 drone aerial views with over an hour of total runtime, totalling 47.13GB of 4K files. The footage provides smooth, sustained shots of the Birmingham skyline. Key architectural features prominent in this pack include the BT Tower, the newly constructed Octagon building, and the sprawling canal network that cuts through the urban density. The shots include wide establishing views, slow drifts, and panning sequences that capture the movement of traffic and the changing colours of the sky. For editors needing to establish a time transition or set a moody, evening atmosphere for a Birmingham-based sequence, these files provide exact, usable coverage.
An amazing collection of Birmingham drone aerial views at sunset. Captured over the northern part of the city, this footage gracefully features the BT Tower, the Octagon building, the canal network, residential tower blocks and more.
82 drone aerial views. Over 1 hour of total runtime. 47.13GB.

Pack 336: Birmingham Tiny Planet and Rabbit Hole Shots
This is an experimental pack. It uses specific drone capturing techniques and post-processing to create "Tiny Planet" (stereographic projection) and "Rabbit Hole" (inverted stereographic) visual effects over Birmingham.
This pack is highly niche. It warps the city's skyline, canals, and road networks into spherical, distorted shapes. While not suitable for standard documentary establishing shots, these files are highly effective for stylised title sequences, high-energy music videos, or fast-paced commercial edits that require a jarring, unusual visual perspective on a major UK city.
Tiny planet footage of Birmingham, UK, along with a few “rabbit hole” shots for a unique and unusual view of the city.
I have no idea how you would use this crazy footage in a production, but here it is!
Check out my Birmingham Stock Footage section for something a little more…. ordinary. Enjoy.
Pack 337: Spaghetti Junction - Drone Aerial Views
Gravelly Hill Interchange, universally known as Spaghetti Junction, is a masterpiece of concrete brutalism and civil engineering. It connects the M6 motorway with the A38(M) Aston Expressway and several local roads. Filming it requires capturing the sheer scale and the relentless, multi-layered flow of vehicles.
Pack 337 contains 46 clips, 33.4GB of data, and over 42 minutes of 4K stock footage. The drone flights cover the interchange from multiple altitudes and angles. You get top-down views showing the complex geometry of the slip roads, low-angle tracking shots following the flow of HGVs and commuter traffic, and wide establishing shots placing the junction in the context of the wider Birmingham landscape. This footage is essential for productions focusing on UK logistics, infrastructure, urban planning, or simply needing a visual metaphor for complexity and transport.
46 Clips, 33.4GB, over 42 minutes of stock footage flying over, around, and under… Birmingham’s infamous Spaghetti Junction.

Birmingham also regularly features in my Broadcast GVs and stock footage Vignettes, so please check those out too.
Pack 338: Spaghetti Junction - Tiny Planet and Rabbit Hole
Following the experimental approach of Pack 336, this collection applies the Tiny Planet and Rabbit Hole warping techniques specifically to Spaghetti Junction. The result is a chaotic, spiralling visual of concrete and cars. The multi-tiered roads of the M6 and A38 bend into continuous loops. It is a highly specific, stylised asset designed for rapid, abstract visual sequences.

Pack 339: As the Sun Sets Over Birmingham
This pack is a deep dive into the golden hour and dusk over the city. It contains 47 clips, over 56 minutes of runtime, and 21.15GB of 4K footage.
The focus here is heavily on the shifting light and the silhouette of the city. The drone captures long, continuous takes of the sun dipping below the horizon, causing long shadows across the Library of Birmingham, the BT Tower, and the Octagon. The pack includes highly compressed telephoto drone shots that flatten the perspective of the city, making the buildings appear stacked tightly together against the sunset. These are premium, cinematic files designed for high-end television and film production requiring dramatic, concluding shots of the city.

47 Clips, over 56 minutes of runtime, 21.15GB.
Drone shots include Birmingham Library, the BT Tower, the Octagon and more, as well as some truly remarkable compressed scenes of the wide city area as the sun dips below the horizon. Magnificent.
Any clip can be licensed individually by using SELECT, and the timecode references from the preview video.
