Footage representation
Remarkable footage. The right connections.
Aquavision represents natural-history and cultural footage from professional cinematographers and specialist libraries, and makes it available to buyers for research, preview and licensing.
How representation works
From your collection to the screen.
Bring us an established collection and we take it to a global market of buyers. This is the path, from your first submission onward.

Submit a selection
Around five clips of up to ten minutes each, showing the range of your collection.

We review
Our librarian assesses the work and its geographic and content coverage.

Technical assessment
If we are interested, we ask for high-resolution files to check quality.

Non-exclusive agreement
A clear representation agreement, set out before you commit.

We vault & catalogue
Your masters are vaulted; content and format information is logged for buyers.

We market, you earn
Buyers search, preview and license your footage, and you receive statements of sale.

Who we represent
Creative, talented people with a collection to share.
We are always looking for new, high-quality footage from professional natural-history and cultural cinematographers who have an established collection and can make regular submissions. We look for staggeringly beautiful motion footage that captures the natural diversity of the world’s countries, wildlife and cultures — from major attractions to everyday scenes, from remote landscapes to places off the beaten track.
- Wildlife
- Underwater
- Natural history and culture
