HISTORY ALIVE WITH RE-ENACTMENT STOCK FOOTAGE

  • stock supplier Re-enactment Stock Footage.com. They’ve added another 50 hours of HD, royalty-free historical recreation footage to the library. This Includes a large scale American Revolution battle event, and footage from three massive Civil War re-enactments, including the recent Battle of Gettysburg anniversary, which combined, featured more than 20,000 re-enactors, 500 horses and 100 cannon!

    This company’s exclusive footage is of new High-Definition & Standard-Definition historical re-enactments, covering events from 1607 Jamestown to the Vietnam War, not the usual scratchy antique footage that has been available for decades. National Geographic Channel’s recent special “Lincoln: American Mastermind” seamlessly integrated a collection of Re-enactment Stock Footage’s HD Civil War combat clips into the narrative with stunning results.

    "There is no other exclusive repository of newly-shot historical re-enactment footage available anywhere else for use in film, television and documentaries, and this year has illustrated that the need can only grow as budgets are trimmed," says footage creator and manager Kevin R. Hershberger. "Producers at varied budget levels, creating historical films and documentaries can find one-of-a-kind footage here, and licensing several seconds or several minutes is faster and less expensive than shooting it themselves," added Hershberger.

    Recent client Susan Sherwood, President of e’lan Media, LLC, adds, “As someone who has produced documentaries and programs for thirty years, I am not easily impressed. But the work Re-enactment Stock Footage did for me on my latest project, “Women in the Military”, far exceeded my greatest expectations! Your re-enactments of Revolutionary and Civil War battles were exceptional. A producer’s dream!”

    Every second of the footage the organization manages has been shot at large-scale re-enactments or staged as authentic, highly detailed recreations of historical events. He is also proud of the “you-are-there” quality of the footage, where cameras have been imbedded in the action and events along with the re-enactors and special combat effects.

    New for 2010 is more World War One footage, an exclusive collection of early 18th century “Pirate” re-enactment footage and coverage of the epic 195th anniversary re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo in Belgium.

    If this doesn’t cover your needs, Re-enactment Stock Footage can also fill special orders to shoot the re-enactment and time-period of your choice.

    A sample reel showcasing nearly four-hundred years of footage is available through the website home page.
