The most advanced, innovative night timelapse & real-time footage on the market
Licensing our footage
At Night Lights, we are committed to bringing you the best quality. All our archive time-lapse footage is available for licensing in HD (720p, 1080p), 2K or 4K UHD (3840x2160) resolution. Most clips can also be licensed in higher native resolution from 5K and up to 8K upon request.
Our real-time footage is available for licensing in full HD and up to 4K UHD (we are currently building our library including some unique 60fps, 120fps footage, as well as ProRes RAW 4K footage).
You will find a detailed list of specs in the table below for all our available clips .
Further down, you will be able to browse our non-exhaustive archives by category. As we cannot upload our entire library on our website, you will find more clips when browsing our Video reel library, or our Youtube / Vimeo channels where we post more regularly. You might also want to take a look at our Nimia library where we have gorgeous clips ready to license. Please contact us at nightlightsfilms@gmail.com for any other inquiry, such as finding a specific kind of clip in our archives, film usage, license agreements, quotes and permissions.
Timelapse archives by category
The time-lapse clips below are edited (but ungraded), 720p, h.264, accelerated from their original speed to ease the browsing process. In your inquiry, please provide us with the category, the sub category and the time stamp, so we know which clip you are referring to.
These compilations are far from showcasing our entire library. They are here to give you an idea of what we own. If you are looking for a specific sequence, landscape type, filming technique or view, which are not displayed here, please ask us in your inquiry.
Not finding what you're looking for? Don't panic, we also offer on-demand shoots. In fact, production companies have been asking us for this kind of service for a while and we are always happy to accommodate your need for a specific production or sequence. Please send us an enquiry with the type of sequence you are looking for (elements, season, landscape, duration...) and we will discuss whether we are able to provide it, along with our rates.
