"Do you have a sunset shot with an orange sun that fills the screen?" "How about kids doing tricks on their bicycles?" "What about a red Porsche driving fast down a curvy street?" These are some of the stock footage requests that New & Unique Videos fields every day from some of the largest television, movie and advertising producers.

New & Unique Videos provides images that can't be found anywhere else, and in most cases with a one-day turnaround. Research is free, and a time-coded window dub of selected shots goes for $35/editing hour. If they don't have the shot, their affiliate company, Crystal Pyramid Productions, will shoot custom footage according to the client's specifications. Says president, Mark Schulze, "Our sunny southern California location provides ample opportunity for new and unique shots to resolve many production needs. We can go out tomorrow morning and shoot signage, coastline, mountains, deserts, whatever a client wants-- and then in most cases get it out the door for next-day delivery. Our clients find this a plus when they need to air a production right away."
