1. How do I search? Enter keywords or search terms into the Search field to perform a full text search across all fields. You can choose from the three different Boolean operators - all, any, exact. Searching will be across both the digitized and non digitized text only records. For more detailed directions and how to use Advanced search please visit our help page.
2. How can I request a screener or view the footage? GIW is a content oriented library. We are digitizing our entire collection as sequences and not merely as short individual shots. Digitized sequences can be previewed on our website. Once registered, you can download any of the digitized clips as quicktimes. For those clips that have not yet been digitized, we can send a DVD screener or we can arrange for those clips to be placed on our FTP site as QuickTimes for download.
If you would prefer to have our staff do the research and prepare a screener for you, just email or fax us a completed Footage Request Form and someone will contact you. Research is FREE and a nominal screener fee may be charged depending on size of your request.
3. How do I download a clip? Once you are logged on to our website, you can create and edit clip bins and will be able to download any of the selected digitized clips.
4. What are your licensing rates? Licensing rates are based on the grant of rights being requested and vary according to the type of project, the territory, media and term required as well as which collection the footage is from. As we represent several different types of collections from generic backgrounds to music and other premium collections, different minimums and rates may apply. Additionally certain preferred vendor relationships have been pre-arranged with some of the broadcast entities.
5. What formats can you provide? We can provide any format of master that you request - from film to HD. We can also provide on-line ftp delivery. Most orders can be fulfilled within 24-48 hours, and some collections may need up to 72 hours. Please consult with our staff to determine delivery time for your master. Before delivery of master material, however, we will need a signed License Agreement and payment of License Fees and master duplication costs. Download a copy of the master request form and email
6. How do I order master material? Once you have selected the material you would like to license, you will need to submit your order to us. Download a copy of the License Request Form and email or fax to us. We will then need to finalize License Fees and master duplication costs. A License Agreement and Invoice will be issued. Upon receipt of payment of Invoice and a signed License Agreement, we will then release master material.
7. How can I have my footage represented by Global ImageWorks? Global ImageWorks is always looking for new footage to represent. We are especially keen on Hi-definition and Red Camera footage. Please give us a call to discuss your footage with our acquisition team and/or send us a sample of your work with information about the type of footage you normally shoot, what formats you shoot, if your footage is logged, how much footage you have etc.

If you require additional deep research outside of our collection, our internationally recognized Footage Researchers, each with over 20 years experience in the industry, can be hired to assist you. We also have a team of Rights and Clearance Specialists who can assist in talent and other clearance and permission requirements necessary. Fees are based on the requirements of the assignment.
