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.
Spotlight on the Essential: Luton & Mere
Clip Pack #183 (Luton) provides valuable Luton Stock Footage, captured with smooth gimbal movements from a tracking vehicle. These 14 clips offer practical, high-quality 4K perspectives of Luton Town Hall, the football stadium environs, the University area, Luton Airport surroundings, and typical terraced streets. It’s the kind of essential establishing footage or background B-roll that editors often desperately need to ground a scene in reality.
Similarly, Clip Pack #184 (Mere) offers a concise but high-quality 4K snapshot of quintessential English village life in Wiltshire. With just 6 clips covering the historic church, Castle Hill views, and quaint streets, it provides those authentic establishing visuals that transport an audience instantly. Sometimes, you don't need epic, you need real.
The Power of Variety: From Overcast Luton to Sublime Snowdonia
So yes, need a functional, maybe slightly grey, gimbal shot tracking through Luton town centre? Check. It’s here. Need a quiet shot of a Wiltshire village church? Check. Got that too. This library is built to provide the useful, everyday shots that productions rely on, captured professionally and licensed simply.
But what if you do need that jaw-dropping, ethereal moment? What if your project demands footage captured after years of planning, waiting for that one perfect, almost unbelievable weather window? Well, that's the other side of the coin. Take a look at Clip Pack #206 - Amazing Cloud Inversion Snowdonia Timelapse 4K UHD Stock Footage. We're talking about clouds wafting like a sea around the peaks, heavenly views from Crib Goch as inversions swirl below, the entire Snowdon Massif bathed in sublime light. It's footage that genuinely takes your breath away. And that's the power of this library – it contains the mundane and the magnificent. The overcast town centre and the once-in-a-lifetime cloud inversion. It’s about having the right shot, whatever the need.
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.
It’s about looking beyond the default options. The quality is here, the variety is here (from the everyday to the epic!), and the licensing is designed for professionals who need flexibility without being bled dry. You get far more creative potential, higher quality, and zero licensing headaches for significantly less investment. Plus, you're supporting an independent cameraman out there capturing these unique shots!
Ultimate Library Update
With the addition of the Luton and Mere packs, The Ultimate Library now stands at 14,149+ clips. The total investment for new customers is now £141,490, still reflecting the £10 per clip value. Remember, investing today locks in FREE lifetime updates – every new pack I release (like Luton and Mere) gets added to your collection automatically, at no extra charge. Your asset grows perpetually.
Explore the Archive's Depth: More Than Just Cities & Landscapes
To truly appreciate the variety, let's dive into a few more diverse examples from the library, moving beyond the typical cityscapes or driving shots:
Clip Pack #101 – Tokyo, Japan - Stock video footage
Need to transport your audience instantly to the vibrant heart of Japan? This pack offers 78 expertly captured 4K gimbal shots from Tokyo, filmed during the unique atmosphere of the 2021 Olympic Games. It’s a raw, authentic glimpse into the city's mesmerising contrasts – the controlled chaos of Shibuya Crossing day and night, the neon glow of Shinjuku, the quiet order of masked commuters on packed trains, traditional narrow alleys, and futuristic cityscapes. This collection is invaluable for travel series, documentaries needing an authentic feel of modern Japan (with a specific historical context), or cinematic projects requiring dynamic international urban visuals.
The footage captures the meticulous sense of order, the blend of old and new architecture, bustling shopping districts, POV driving shots, and the reserved nature of commuters. It’s a rich tapestry of real-life content, providing genuine, atmospheric, and beautifully framed shots far removed from generic travel footage. As with all packs, you get 4K quality and my straightforward licensing, offering exceptional value for such unique international footage.
Clip Pack #83 – Metal Scrapyards with Man Shooting at Drone – Stock Video Footage
Looking for something gritty, industrial, and maybe even a little dangerous? This pack delivers raw, unfiltered drone footage from the often-unseen world of UK metal scrapyards. Across 37 clips, you get aerial views of mountains of scrap, heavy machinery in action (diggers, magnetic cranes, trucks), and the complex operations of recycling facilities. It offers stark, textured visuals perfect for documentaries on industry, waste, recycling, or projects needing an authentic industrial backdrop.
But this pack contains something truly unique and shocking – captured entirely by chance, it includes footage of a scrapyard worker illegally taking aim and shooting at the drone with a rifle. It’s a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of filming in some environments and provides incredibly dramatic, real-world footage you simply won't find anywhere else. If you need footage with genuine tension and a raw, industrial edge, this pack is unforgettable. The licensing remains simple, even with the unexpected drama captured!
Clip Pack #155 - Black Country Canals Stock Video Footage Collection
For a deep dive into Britain's industrial heritage and surprisingly beautiful waterways, look no further than this massive collection dedicated to the Black Country Canal Network. With a staggering 502 clips (mixing drone, tripod, and timelapse), this pack documents an extensive journey along the Dudley Number 2 Canal, from Halesowen to Dudley. It's a treasure trove for editors needing specific regional content or historical context.
Explore historic canal tunnels (like the 509m Gosty Hill Tunnel), iconic landmarks (Cobb's Engine House, Netherton Tunnel), remnants of canal-side industry, and the unique intersection of nature and industrial past found in nature reserves like Bumble Hole and Saltwells. The pack captures narrowboats, lock mechanisms, historic bridges, wildlife (including a heron catching a fish!), sunken boats, and even scenes from a boat festival. It's an incredibly comprehensive resource, perfect for TV series, documentaries, films, or news stories focusing on Birmingham, the Black Country, canal restoration, or industrial history. The sheer volume offers unparalleled flexibility.

Total Clips: 16,894+ (and growing!)
Price Per Clip: £10
Total Library Cost: £168,940 (Includes all current clips, hard drive delivery, and FREE lifetime updates)
Consider the alternatives: hiring a dedicated camera crew for even a few weeks, or licensing thousands of individual clips from major platforms with restrictive broadcast licenses, could easily exceed this cost without providing the sheer volume, unique perspective, or crucial lifetime updates. This is potentially the most cost-effective way to secure a vast, high-quality, and perpetually growing UK-focused footage archive.
