Lock, stock, and two smoking barrels. But without the lock and the smoking barrels. Enter the exciting world of stock footage with theatrical entrepreneurs Shamgodds.
Operating at the intersection of cutting-edge theatre and entrepreneurial business practice, Shamgodds are always looking to push the envelope and fill it with cash. Having successfully launched businesses in lawn and garden care, activewear, petty gripes counselling, and live performance, now they launch their stock footage business Shamstokk by creating live on stage a new collection of theatre-themed stock footage. From capturing the exhilaration of a team of actors in full flight to an audience on the edge of their seats, Shamgodds' new Shamstokk range of interstitial and peripheral theatre-related stock footage promises to be a groundbreaking contribution to the stock footage industry which is under threat from advancements in AI. Shamgodds invite you to be in the studio audience as they create never-before-seen pieces like ‘Three men in the corner of a foyer while an audience mingles prior to an independent production of Angels in America’, and ‘Three men are jostled by crowd traffic as they misinterpret Angels in America near the fire exit after the show’.Whether your goal is to win an Oscar or just to tell the world about your low prices, Shamstokk’s extensive library of everyday essentials has you covered. Range of applications include: high budget motion pictures, airline safety videos, corporate induction videos, youtube content, tabloid-style ‘gotchas,’ ‘Australia’s Funniest Home Videos’ submissions, and many more.Continuing Shamgodds’ interest in theatricalising the pedestrian and pedestrianising the theatrical, Shamstokk playfully engages with the notion and contemporary status of theatricality itself and our hypermediated and hyper-commodified experience of the ‘everyday’. What meaningful potential can be mined from what feels like the meaninglessness of stock footage?For Shamgodds Lawn and Garden Care enquiries and other investment opportunities, see shammgods.com/shammlawns
