Storm Highway Special Footage AssignmentsOccasionally, a producer may need a specific, hard-to-find piece of weather or storm footage not appearing in our archives. For this very specialized need, we offer our premiere Special Footage Assignment service as a solution.When you place a Special Footage Assignment order with Storm Highway, we will add your specific footage request to our assignment board and distribute it to our cameramen in the field. If and when the opportunity and weather conditions arise, we will make your Special Footage Assignment a priority and attempt to capture the specific shots you requested. A Storm Highway Special Footage Assignment is a cost-effective alternative to sending your on-staff or freelance camera crews out on expensive and difficult chases to gather hard-to-capture storm and weather footage. Our cameramen are already frequently shooting severe weather events, and consequently will have many more opportunities to capture the specific scenes that you need. The following are just a few examples of the types of footage requests that we accept:
Special Footage Assignment RatesOur fee for registering a Storm Highway Special Footage Assignment is only $300. This one-time assignment fee is non-refundable and does not include any guarantee of delivered footage, as the capturing of special footage is entirely dependent on weather conditions. Our fee includes forwarding your assignment to our cameramen, who will make attempts to capture the scenes you need when they have the opportunity during their day-to-day operations. If we are successful in capturing your requested footage, the $300 assignment fee will be credited toward your final license fee at our normal stock footage rates (listed below). There are no time limits or deadlines attached to a Special Footage Assignment - we will keep your request on file and keep making attempts for as long as you need.
