Getty footage appearing on FOX reality show ‘On the Lot’
Getty Images (NYSE: GYI) has penned a deal with Fox to be the official footage partner for its new reality show, "On the Lot". On The Lot is a reality show where aspiring film-makers compete to create short films every week that are voted on by the audience. At the conclusion of the season the most popular film-maker will be awarded a million dollar movie contract. Getty will provide the competing filmmakers with a custom library of Getty Images Footage clips each week.
"On The Lot will feature the best undiscovered filmmakers competing for an unprecedented prize -- a million dollar movie deal with DreamWorks," said David Goffin, executive producer from Mark Burnett Productions. "Therefore, it makes sense that we have available for our contestants the very best footage libraries in the business to help make their films as good as they possibly can be. In our experience there is no better resource for this task than Getty Images."
"Artfully incorporating pre-shot footage can be essential to the success of a short film, especially when delivering on small budgets and short timeframes," said Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, co-executive producers from DreamWorks Television. "Getty Images Footage is at the forefront of trends in filmmaking and we're delighted to offer it as an extraordinary tool for contestants."
"Given Getty Images' tradition of working with the creative community to develop unique and compelling projects, a partnership with 'On the Lot' is an ideal fit," said Craig Peters, vice president of footage and multimedia at Getty Images. "We're thrilled to be a part of this engaging show and to offer our footage collections to this promising new group of talent."
