Stock Footage

Grumpy Turtle has provided stock footage to some of the world's top production houses and networks.

We have an expanding stock library hosted on Vimeo.

Please get in touch for comprehensive details about our collection, including file information and links to download screeners. All screeners are HD, watermarked, and have a corrective LUT applied. They also include a timecode, allowing you to download them from Vimeo, create your edit, and reach out to us when you require the full-resolution master files.

All footage is 4k or over and is filmed in Netflix-approved compressions.
It can be delivered in Apple Pro Res or the original file type, typically R3D.
