Screenocean Digitizing Unseen Reuters Los Angeles Collection

Pre-COVID, Screenocean began working extensively with the Reuters Los Angeles bureau to catalogue and digitize thousands of master tapes as part of an extensive new project. This comprehensive library of ‘rarely seen’ footage is a great look into the glitzy Hollywood life from the early 1990s to 2010s. Featuring exclusive interviews with stars from Kurt Cobain to George Clooney, Oscars arrivals and parties, blockbuster premieres, and general celebrity snapshots, there are currently 1,000 digitized records and more to be completed soon here.

This extensive project was undertaken following the success of putting together the  Reuters South Africa Collection. From daily life during Apartheid to Mandela's inauguration, other highlights include peace negotiations, political parties and figures, full interviews and footage from the neighboring countries of Congo, Angola, and Mozambique.

Screenocean’s close relationship with Reuters has now extended to representing Reuters Pictures.  Their incredible photographs can be licensed by Screenocean alongside their video content, which dates back to 1896.

In addition to Reuters, Screenocean’s news collections comprise footage shot by Bloomberg, PA, South China Post, ANI India and ORF Austria. They all provide comprehensive coverage of both current and historical events, available on Screenocean’s OneSearch platform. 

New content from the Iker San Martin collection features stunning high quality stock footage from across the globe. It can replace shooting on location which could be problematic for a while longer.
