UK Mapping Footage Broadcasters and other journalists are being invited to take advantage of public domain film footage from Ordnance Survey. With the aim of further strengthening Ordnance Survey's excellent relationship with the media, its Press Office has commissioned a series of short films showing the work carried out by the national mapping agency.
There are six videos available for download from Ordnance Survey's media web pages. These are suitable for online use, while television broadcasters can receive versions in DVCAM format by contacting the Press Office directly.
It is hoped that this professionally produced footage will be useful to journalists looking to illustrate stories on anything from using satnavs to leisure walking.
Scott Sinclair, Ordnance Survey's Head of Corporate Communications, comments, "The videos all depict aspects of the work Ordnance Survey does, from producing and printing paper maps to collecting digital data in the field. Our objective has been for them to be informative but also a useful, free resource for journalists to use as stock footage."
