Assigning the company camera crew or hiring a freelance cameraman to shoot the needed footage can be risky and costly. The sky does not operate on a production schedule, so the only way to capture weather footage is to either wait for the right conditions, or to go looking for them. Success rates of the average storm chase, even for experienced chasers, are very low - requiring great expense, effort, inconveniece, tenacity, and above all, time to obtain satisfactory results. Extreme weather also poses a great threat to fragile, expensive camera equipment. Even a properly protected camera can be damaged or destroyed by weather conditions.

Our passion for storm chasing and documenting weather's most spectacular displays of power, not to mention our willingness to endure the rigors of chasing, gives us a way to overcome these obstacles to build a complete library of extreme weather footage, and by doing so, fill the specialized need for severe weather video in the media industry. We spend months on the road, logging thousands of miles at a time and filming under the most demanding of weather conditions. The result is a stock video library that we are proud to offer our clients.

While StormScenes is based in the St. Louis area, our 'real' office is anywhere a weather story is happening. You'll find us across the United States from Florida to Kansas to Illinois to North Carolina, covering all types of weather, in all seasons, year round.
