ThoughtEquity signs March of Time collection of historic footage
The stock footage supplier ThoughtEquity Motion has signed an agreement to represent the March of Time collection of historic newsreels and television documentaries originally produced by Time, Inc. and now owned by HBO. The March of Time footage collection includes over 70 million feet of film and covers the most significant world events between 1913 and 1967. The archive includes a wide variety of both serious and light-hearted subjects from footage of the devastation wrought by the bombing of London during World War II, to Albert Einstein smoking his pipe, actors such as Carol Lombard and Bob Hope signing autographs to Arturo Toscanini conducting a radio orchestra.
HBO added The March of Time collection to Thought Equity Motion’s online library to serve producers who require the highest quality film, video and HD footage. The March of Time collection is available for immediate online purchase and download, and can be delivered in a variety of formats, including film, video and HD worldwide.
“With an average per episode production cost of $750,000 in today’s dollars, The March of Time was one of the largest and most comprehensive news productions of its time,” stated Kevin Schaff, founder and CEO of Thought Equity Motion. “By restoring and digitally mastering The March of Time collection, we are ensuring that this historic content is available to storytellers in the most pristine format for all time. It’s very exciting to help write the next chapter in The March of Time legacy.”
