Munich-based stock footage company Framepool has
re-launched its Web site, which was recently restructured to facilitate search
of its collection of 3000 hours of footage. The new site features an advanced
search engine, previews, and “shot lists— a kind of wish list for clips you
might want to purchase.
Overall the new system is easy-to-use with a nice interface and intuitive
design. Also it gets points for that amazing clip of aborigine dancers on the
site’s home page!
Thought Equity Motion recently started using Sun StorageTek to
improve its digital archive and on-demand delivery system. Sun touts this recent
development as quadrupling its speed and advanced storage density for easy
delivery to many a satisfied customer. With 5000 new clips being added each
week, Thought Equity certainly makes use of such a high performance storage
system.
Be aware, however, that for both sites British and American
spellings of keywords might make a difference in your search results. For
instance the Framepool site prefers the spelling behaviour, not behavior, and a search
for theater might give different
results than one for theatre.
