New Stock Footage Alert: Luton & Mere Land! Plus: Are You Overpaying for Timelapse?
Another update to the Chris Homer stock footage library has landed! We've just added two new clip packs focusing on UK town and village life:
Clip Pack #183 – Luton, UK - Stock Video Footage (14 clips, 4K UHD)
Clip Pack #184 – Mere, Wiltshire Stock Video Footage (6 clips, 4K)
Now, let's be honest. Compared to drone shots soaring over Snowdonia's ridges or timelapses of the Northern Lights, gimbal footage of Luton town centre or a charming Wiltshire village might seem a bit... well, ordinary. Maybe even a touch dull or dreary on an overcast day? Absolutely. And that's precisely the point, and a core strength of this growing library. It’s not just about the 'wow' moments; it's about providing comprehensive, authentic footage that covers the full spectrum of visual needs for professional productions.

It’s the kind of essential establishing footage or background B-roll that editors often desperately need to ground a scene in reality.

A Creative Dive: The True Cost of Specialist Footage (Like Timelapse!)
This variety extends to specialist techniques too, and understanding the real value is crucial. I was chatting with a producer recently who needed some night-time petrol station timelapses for a broadcast documentary. They ended up licensing just two 8-second clips from one of the big agencies. The cost? Around £1500. That's nearly £100 per second! And the license likely came with strict limitations on usage or required further fees for broadcast reach.
It highlights a crucial difference. Let's compare that hypothetical £1500 for 16 seconds of footage to something already sitting in my archive: Clip Pack #230 – British Petrol Stations Stock Video Footage & Timelapse. This pack costs just £595 – nearly a third of the price the producer paid elsewhere. But what do you get? Not two clips, but 20 clips. Not 16 seconds, but 10 minutes and 48 seconds of footage. And crucially, it includes 5 stunning timelapse sequences showing petrol stations day and night, complete with mesmerising light trails – alongside drone shots and cinematic gimbal work. All delivered in 4K UHD as standard, with my straightforward license covering TV, film, and commercial use with no extra fees for circulation. It’s simply better footage, and vastly better value.
Need high-quality British petrol station stock footage? Clip Pack #230 delivers 10 minutes and 48 seconds of premium 4K UHD video, featuring 20 professionally shot clips showcasing the UK’s most well-known fuel stations at day and night. This pack includes stunning drone footage, cinematic gimbal shots, incredible timelapse sequences with light trails, and experimental long telephoto footage—perfect for TV, film, documentaries and digital content.
With no extra fees for 4K or TV and film use, this is the ultimate petrol station B-Roll pack, offering a mix of establishing shots, traffic movement, fueling action, and night-time cinematic sequences.
