Now Over 7000 Library options!

With new footage from Mexico City recently uploaded, we're proud to announce that there are now over 7000 sets of driving footage from around the world available on our site!  It's very humbling to see our passion project grow from around 2000 sets barely two years ago, to a library filled with 4K and HD footage from over 20 countries and nearly a hundred cities.

We could never have done this alone, and are eternally grateful to the TV shows, feature films, VFX houses, and filmmakers across the world who have entrusted our company with their driving plates needs.  We have truly enjoyed working with you all, and have happily watched how great the footage has worked in your shows.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We also wanted to send a shout out to our tireless cinematographers who shoot our library and integrate with productions to shoot custom plates: you have all been an integral part of our success and we look forward to shooting more with you!

We're still editing Driving Plates footage, so look for this number to grow!  Thanks to everyone who has been a part of our team; we look forward to what the future brings! 

Big Bear, coming at you in 4K

What used to take 2 days via horse drawn carriage can now be done in the convenience of your editing bay: traveling - or at least have your show's characters travel - to Big Bear, California.

Shot during the wintertime, these scenes take you through picturesque little towns, scarcely populated deserts, and the city's world renowned recreational lakes.  Since they were shot in 4K, these clips are also available in high quality HD.  Big Bear can mask as many other locations, so don't let the name shy you away from these beautiful backgrounds.

Peruse the library!  Both day and night are sure to suit your needs, or at least make you want to plan a camping trip.

Find both libraries here, or under the "Library" tab above: BIG BEAR DAY & BIG BEAR NIGHT.

Small town feel, big town appeal

Ever bring out your winter jacket and find $20 hiding in the pocket?  I have, and it's a pretty exciting moment when you think of all that can be done with that surprise cash.  I found the same joy while going through our North Carolina folder and finding some footage that had yet to be upload, yet to be shared.  Oh the shows they could be on!  Take a virtual tour here and see why it made me smile:

Coming from a small town, it was like a little glimpse of home, but with all that seems to be happening here, it's definitely not one of those "everything closes before 9PM" cities.  From unique residential neighborhoods to commercial spaces with character, there's something here worth exploring.  Perhaps they'll find there way into your next project.
