Stock Footage Examples
Stock footage is no mere shadow on the screen—it’s a pulse, a story, a tool for the bold. At www.chrishomer.uk, I’ve built a library of over 14,000 clips across two decades, all in 4K UHD, royalty-free for TV, film, and more. From Liverpool’s beating heart to Snowdonia’s frozen heights, my work spans urban sprawl, iconic stadiums, and wild landscapes—starting at £29 a clip, rising to curated packs like Clip Pack #38 – Liverpool, UK – Stock Video Footage (£8500). This isn’t just footage; it’s the fruit of relentless pursuit, honed craft, and a defiance of the ordinary. I’m writing this in Liverpool, fresh from filming the Grand National’s organised chaos at Aintree and Everton’s new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium—clips landing soon, drenched in sunset fire. Let’s unpack what I offer, why it’s a bargain, and a showcase of examples to ignite your next project.
What I Offer: A Vault of Vision
My stock footage is a living archive, sculpted from 20 years behind the lens. Drones capture Anfield’s golden hour; gimbals trace Chester’s ancient streets; timelapses seize the Long Mynd’s dawn. Single clips—like “Liverpool FC Stock Footage – Selling Football Memorabilia Outside Anfield at Night” (£49)—hit the mark for tight edits. Packs like Clip Pack #36 – Yearlet and the Long Mynd (£1950) deliver full narratives—drone vistas, tripod intimacy, timelapse magic—for creators who crave depth. Here in Liverpool, I’ve just shot Aintree’s empty Grand National course and Everton’s rising stadium—new packs coming in weeks, brimming with Merseyside brilliance. This is stock with intent: vivid, versatile, yours to wield.
The Cost: Smashing the Competition
Value is king. Shutterstock charges £1069 for a 10-clip 4K pack with an enhanced licence—£106.90 per clip, boxed in their rigid world. My 4K footage leaves that in the dust. Clip Pack #37 – Liverpool Football Club, Anfield Stadium (£1600, 67 clips) is £23.88 a clip—stunningly and outrageously unique, no hidden costs for 4K or broadcast. Clip Pack #31 – Chester City Centre (£5995) breaks down to under £30 a clip for 199 shots. Solo clips? £49 for “Liverpool Stock Footage Clip – Captain Frederic John Walker Statue.” Pond5’s £15-£200 range often piles on broadcast fees; Filmsupply’s £200-£500 clips sting the wallet. My prices—£29 to £100-odd per clip across packs like Clip Pack #235 – Birmingham UK – Timelapse & Drone Hyperlapse (£4750)—deliver cinema-grade work cheaper than hiring a pro for a a few days (£500-£1000, plus gear and a LOT of editing time). Dostoevsky, my favourite author, saw worth in the toil; here’s mine, priced to liberate.
The Tools: Forged in Fire
Great footage demands more than a lens—it demands a kit to conquer chaos. I wield high-tech drones that’ve soared over 30 countries, gimbals for seamless flow, and high-frame-rate cameras for slow-motion grace. Cinematic prime lenses cut sharp details; big zooms grab far-off gold; high-sensitivity experimental sensors pierce the dark. Timelapse cameras with colossal sensors—like those in Clip Pack #121 – Manchester City FC, The Etihad Stadium—trap time itself. Sliders, tripods, grip gear—it’s all in play. This kit’s my sword, and it hasn’t yet been banned by Keir Starmer! From Aintree’s vast emptiness to Old Trafford’s roar, it carves shots no stock pile can rival. Jocko Willink preaches discipline; I wield it in steel and glass.
My USPs: Freedom Unleashed
What’s my edge? No extra fees for 4K—Shutterstock’s huge upcharges can sod off. No broadcast TV or film surcharges—Pond5’s greed doesn’t touch me. Royalty-free licences mean Clip Pack #28 – Manchester City Centre (£4995) or Clip Pack #65 – Ayr Racecourse (£400) play on any screen, no limits. My packs are curated shoots—Clip Pack #147 – Snowdonia Winter Landscapes (£4500) blends drone, tripod, and timelapse—not random grabs. Jordan Peterson urges us to stand firm; I don’t faff about with petty charges—I deliver value, pure and unfiltered. Two decades of global grit—Paris “Drone Jedi” monikers, London cop standoffs—fuel every frame.
Pack Curation: Tales, Not Tat
Stock footage should narrate, not clutter. I shape packs like a storyteller. Clip Pack #24 – Manchester United Football Club, Old Trafford (£1995) melds drone sweeps of the Stretford End with amazing sunsets. Clip Pack #38 – Liverpool, UK (£8500) fuses aerial Liver Building vistas with street-level Beatles Statue charm. Solo clips—like “Liverpool FC Stock Footage – Selling Football Memorabilia Outside Anfield at Night” (£49)—pack a punch. Soon, Aintree’s Grand National pack will frame its empty course in sunset glory; Everton’s Bramley-Moore will rise from dockside dust. This is footage with a spine, built for your cut.
Cinematic Excellence: Beauty with Bite
Excellence is earned, not gifted. Dostoevsky plumbed the depths; I chase the light—Clip Pack #141 – Caernarfon, Wales (£1395) crowns its castle with dawn light, Snowdonia looming. Clip Pack #32 – York, UK (£9995) spans Minster flyovers to Shambles close-ups. My latest—Anfield’s sunset, Goodison dimming as the Mersey drinks the sun—pairs splendour with story. Search “stock footage examples” on Google, and you’ll wade through bland pools; mine’s a torrent—4K, high-frame-rate, primed for cinema or telly. It’s not just footage—it’s a reckoning.
Stock Footage Examples: A Tapestry of Triumph
Here’s the meat—examples from my vault, fresh and varied. From Liverpool’s pulse to Shropshire’s hush, plus teasers of what’s brewing.
Liverpool: Fire and Legacy
Liverpool’s alive—football, history, soul. Clip Pack #38 – Liverpool, UK – Stock Video Footage (£8500) is its anthem: drone shots of the Royal Liver Building, gimbal runs through Albert Dock, high-frame-rate takes on St John’s Beacon. “Liverpool FC Stock Footage – Selling Football Memorabilia Outside Anfield at Night” (£49) catches matchday fever—floodlit fans, pure passion. “Liverpool Stock Footage Clip – Captain Frederic John Walker Statue” (£49) frames a naval titan against the skyline. New shots—Anfield at dusk, Everton’s Bramley-Moore aglow—drop soon, unmatched.
Chester: Echoes of Rome
Chester’s a time capsule, vivid now. Clip Pack #31 – Chester City Centre (£5995) offers drone orbits of the Cathedral and gimbal dances past the Eastgate Clock. Clip Pack #30 – Chester Racecourse (£900) frames the River Dee in motion—racecourse elegance, no crowds needed. It’s heritage with a pulse, ripe for docs or dramas.
Manchester: Grit and Glory
Manchester’s a colossus—sport, culture, life. Clip Pack #28 – Manchester City Centre (£4995) spans Salford Quays’ shine to Piccadilly Gardens’ bustle—drone and gimbal in sync. Clip Pack #24 – Manchester United Football Club, Old Trafford (£1995) catches the Stretford End at sunset. Clip Pack #121 – Manchester City FC, The Etihad Stadium (£995) timelapses rain-soaked stands—urban poetry.
Snowdonia: Wild Heart
Snowdonia’s untamed—Clip Pack #147 – Snowdonia Winter Landscapes (£4500) proves it: drone shots of Tryfan’s icy crown, timelapses of Glyderau’s cloud waltz, tripod clips in -20°C windchill. It’s a trek through nature’s furnace—ice, wind, stars. “The earth is the Lord’s,” Psalm 24 hums; I’ve snared its song.
Long Mynd: Silent Might
Shropshire’s Long Mynd whispers power. Clip Pack #36 – Yearlet and the Long Mynd (£1950) blends drone vistas of Yearlet’s ridges with timelapses of sunrise fog—wild ponies roam in tripod shots. It’s Britain’s quiet core, cinematic and vast.
Coming Soon: Aintree and Everton
Aintree’s Grand National—April 3-5, 2025—gave me drone gold: sweeps over Canal Turn, sunset fire on the course. Everton’s Bramley-Moore Dock—shot April 2—rises with dockside grace, Mersey sunsets blazing. Packs hit www.chrishomer.uk soon—pure brilliance.
Beyond: A World in Frame
As my reach unfolds: Clip Pack #235 – Birmingham UK (£4750)—Bullring hyperlapses; Clip Pack #65 – Ayr Racecourse (£400)—coastal turf; Clip Pack #114 – Glyderau (£3995)—winter’s bite; Clip Pack #32 – York (£9995)—Minster’s majesty. From Norwich’s spires to Molineux’s roar, my lens roams—cities, wilds, history—each pack a thread in your weave.
Why This Matters: Your Craft, My Labour
Stock footage isn’t a grab-bag—it’s your weapon. Jocko demands ownership; I hand you the reins. My library’s no cold store—it’s a forge, built with tools that tamed mayhem and prices that honour your production. Clip Pack #37’s Anfield (£1600)—stunningly unique—or a £49 night shot—both bear my scars, your spark. Google “stock footage examples” (1,900 UK searches monthly, Ahrefs 2025)—this’ll rise; your edit will soar. At www.chrishomer.uk, it’s yours—unshackled, fierce, timeless. No extra fees for 4K, no extra fees for use in broadcast TV and film.
Cheers
Chris Homer
