Bob Prior, Managing Director of Stock Footage Online  is very well known throughout the Stock Footage and Stock Image industries; he's more than just a long term and inspirational client -  over the years he has taught us a great deal about the stock image and footage industries.
Bob also knows many of the web development companies behind the industry's current websites - and with his knowledge of our skills and capabilities he pointed us at the market opportunity and encouraged us to develop a world class video stock footage library.

 

So we did.

 

Some of the video footage on our demo system was provided by one of the industry greats - Spencer Rowell at OmniMovi - he'll be delighted to provide a quote if you want to buy video footage! View his site at www.omnimovi.com

 

Our UK management and sales base is near Heathrow, London, whilst our wholly owned software development operations are in Kiev, Ukraine. Post production is handled in London, Kiev and Odessa.

 

Our Founder and President, Derek Mansfield, has enjoyed a varied career in publishing, advertising, commercials, and latterly the Net. He started working on the internet in 1992 by creating a worldwide translation network covering 40 offices in 29 countries with more than 3,000 translators. 
 
In the mid 90's - and now wholly focused on the web -  he became frustrated with the lack of skilled people in the UK and so spent two years assessing web development skills and work ethos around the world.

After visiting companies in India, China and other Central European countries he chose the Ukraine as the best the world had to offer.

As a result he set up production offices in Kharkiv in 1998 and moved the operation to Kiev in 2003. Photo is our offices in central Kiev. Big Easy has sales offices in London and New York. For more information call 0208 123 1778 in the UK or 347 983 0157 in the USA
