Element Tank: What’s the story?
What is Element Tank?
Element Tank provides high-quality, royalty-free stock footage you can use in virtually any project, as many times as you want, without paying anything after the initial sale price.

Our film team produces the clips exclusively for Element Tank – in other words, these are not bits of found, repurposed, or leftover video. Each element is cast with “real” people, art-directed, and expertly shot in high-definition digital film for your storytelling purposes. Each element looks professional and slickly produced – because it is. We create clips you can use in tons of commercial applications.

Current clip categories include lifestyle, students, travel, architecture, construction, family, active adult, and more.

Why Element Tank?
After years of shooting and producing TV commercials and lifestyle marketing films for clients, we started to see the same types of shots requested, over and over again. But finding affordable versions of these high-production value shots as stock was virtually impossible . . . until now. Element Tank was launched in 2008.

How does Element Tank work?
It’s so easy. Clips are available as single clips, or in economical multi-clip collections. You find the clip or clips you want, choose a price point (high definition or standard def), and add them to your cart. When you’re ready, click checkout to purchase your clips. You will then receive a link to download the clips. You have 24 hours from your time of purchase to download them, and you can download each clip up to four times.

And here’s the best part: Once you purchase your royalty-free clips, they are yours to use as often as you like, for any project, in any media, for an unlimited period of time.

And if you don’t find what you want right now, check back soon. We’re adding new clips to the tank all the time.
