SMACC Stock Footage on Demand & Stock Library: A Game-Changer for Creators & Brands
The Future of Stock Footage – Powered by SMACC
Finding the perfect stock footage can be challenging—generic stock libraries often lack originality, are expensive, or don’t cater to niche industries. At the same time, content creators across the globe have incredible footage sitting on hard drives that could be valuable to brands, businesses, and other creators.
This is why SMACC is launching Stock Footage on Demand and a curated SMACC Stock Library—offering a unique opportunity for both brands and creators to access, request, and monetize high-quality footage.
With SMACC’s global creator network, we can provide custom-shot footage and a library of unique, niche, and hard-to-find content—something no traditional stock footage platform can match.
Why This Matters
For brands, marketers, and small businesses, the right footage is essential for advertising, social media, and brand storytelling. However, traditional stock platforms don’t always have what they need—especially for niche industries, specific locations, or highly stylized content.
For content creators, footage that they have already filmed—whether from past projects, passion projects, or location shoots—could be generating passive income instead of sitting unused.
How SMACC Stock Footage on Demand Works
Instead of settling for generic stock content, brands can request exactly what they need, while SMACC members have the opportunity to fulfill these requests and get paid.
📌 Step-by-Step Process
1️⃣ Brands & Businesses Submit Requests
• Companies outline the footage type, location, style, and budget they need.
• Requests are listed in the SMACC collaboration hub, where creators can apply.
2️⃣ SMACC Creators Apply to Film
• Verified SMACC members can bid on projects based on their location, expertise, and equipment.
• Creators film the requested footage, ensuring it meets brand expectations.
3️⃣ Footage is Delivered & Approved
• The brand reviews and approves the footage before finalizing payment.
• Creators get paid directly through SMACC’s secure system.
4️⃣ Usage Rights & Licensing
• Brands choose between exclusive or non-exclusive licensing.
• If the footage is non-exclusive, the creator can list it in the SMACC Stock Library for future resale.
