According to the company, its goal is to make its stock footage collections easily searchable from a single site. With recent additions of ITN Source and AP Archive, Footage.net has significantly expanded its total inventory of stock footage content. In addition to providing access to a huge volume of screening clips, the Footage.net database also includes over ten million text records, giving users access to a volume of deep, historically-rich content. MAMMOTH HD EMPLOYS RED'S 6K DRAGON EVERGREEN, CO — MammothHD Footage Library (www.mammothhd.com) continues to expand its 4K-plus footage collection with new additions to its wildlife, underwa- ter, sports, aerials, world locations, weather, high-speed (Phantom), abstracts, emergency services, food, infrared, and timelapse cate- gories. The company has been shooting 6K footage recently using Red's Dragon camera. "We will continue to push acquisition of our imagery to higher resolutions as the cameras become available," says Mammoth HD's CEO/ creative director, Clark Dunbar. "6K is the cur- rent capture resolution and we expect to see 8K within the next 12 to 24 months, with 10K to 12K and above as a viable tool within five years or so. Currently, our deliverables range from HD 1080 up to the full 6K, depending on the project and final display and distribution. With the digital display industries utilizing multiple HD and 4K panels into matrix'd 'large' displays, a 20K-plus display is easy to build with the proper server configurations."

The series, which explored a wide range of issues in the natural and social sciences from all around the world, covered such topics as climate change, developmental psychology of children, whaling and invasive species — all of which remain relevant today.

The Ultimate Machine? includes footage of advances in robotics at MIT alongside iconic imagery of computers in the workplace. Rock-A-Bye Baby, which screened at the White House in 1970, explores the influence of infant treatment and child rearing. Other episodes feature in-depth looks at topics including scientific studies in Antarctica, animal communication, water conser- vation, deforestation and solar research. All of the footage from the series has been transferred from film to HD, has been cataloged and digitized, and can be searched and previewed on the HBO Archives Website.
