Oddball Films is proud to announce several of our most recent stock footage projects in film, television, commercials and more. Highlights include providing research for Jim Jarmusch’s Iggy Pop documentary Gimme Danger, retro-tech for Danny Boyle’s Academy Award nominated Steve Jobs, and offbeat footage for the credits for the acclaimed series Transparent, as well as documentaries like Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution and Robert Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures. And wouldn’t you know it? They came to us when they wanted some 70s smut for The Nice Guys, Ryan Gosling’s latest movie!
We have recently had the opportunity to work on several fabulous art documentaries, providing nearly 100 year old footage for Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict, vintage queer footage for HBO’s controversial Robert Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures, and beat generation rarities for Robert Frank: Don’t Blink about the iconic photographer, artist and filmmaker.
For the morbidly minded, we provided trial footage for a new Investigation Discovery show: A Crime to Remember on the infamous Sam Sheppard trial and retrial that set new standards for allowing the media to influence the jury.
We’ve had a great season of revolutionary-minded docs including Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise, Emory Douglas: The Art of the Black Panthers, and Agents of Change featuring film clips fromseveral decades worth of civil rights revolutionaries.
On the LGBTQ scene, we’ve contributed rare vintage lesbian footage for the credit sequence for the Golden Globe winning series Transparent, shots of the Stonewall riots and early gay wedding ceremonies for the upcomingFreedom to Marry, and tons of queer historical rarities for Major!, a moving portrait of the remarkable transgender activist Miss Major.
And keep an eye out for our break dancers in the hip hop documentary Unsung: Sugarhill Gang, as well as some spermatozoa in the Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck.
