You just got a great idea that requires stock footage. Your client signs off on the concept.

But now you find this shot's not as easy to get as you thought.

It happens all the time. We get the calls. And we always do our best to help.

But we can help you a lot more if you call us before you sell the concept.

We'll tell you what's available, what it costs, warn you about any possible clearance problems (and handle them or offer alternatives if you like), and come up with ideas for you. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish (ex: "I want images that express speed and power."). We love working in metaphor. We can show you how to save money. And you won't get an invoice for any of it. Jobs fall through, it's okay. You don't owe us a thing.

If you want us to put together a viewing cassette, now that will cost you. But not much, $100 to $300 usually. You have already saved way more than that on licensing. Because you brought us in early.
