NHNZ Moving Images
NHNZ Moving Images is a subsidiary unit of NHNZ, a New Zealand-based factual television production house, creating original content for global broadcasters. It sells footage and outtakes from NHNZ’s documentaries, and also represents National Geographic Channels Worldwide library of footage.
History
NHNZ Moving Images was created several years after NHNZ established an Emerging Media team to maximize opportunities for selling or re-versioning the company’s large library of footage.
It is now the largest repository of New Zealand documentary archive footage online in the country.[1]
Partnership
It was selected in 2011 as a partner with National Geographic Channels Worldwide to archive and sell its footage as an exclusive agent.[2][3][4]
New technology
NHNZ Moving Images in 2012 signed an agreement with New Zealand’s University of Otago to develop an image recognition technology to catalogue its footage. The project aims to use the technology to identify objects in each shoot, eliminating the current labour-intensive "shot list" producers need to create before editing.[5]
