Hi Danette and Kim, I'd recommend she contact someone like the WPA Film Library, was at the NMM last year, to gain some market knowledge as well as a potential sales partner. When Film Ideas produces we typically shoot to clear all rights in perpetuity so my knowledge of stock footage rates is rusty. I looked at the NBC prices and they seemed high, especially for the short clips. It also depends on the type of footage. THere is tons of travel footage for example and not worth as much. Let me know if she has any of the Titanic sinking.

This might be helpful to gauge the going rate.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
