Orchard Clips, the supplier of film and video content from and about WANA, has signed a multi-year representation agreement with drone operator, filmmaker and producer Yuval Dax.

The agreement sees Orchard Clips take on Dax’s collection of over 4000 clips spanning aerials, landscapes, wildlife, archaeology, religion and more.

The collection includes a world-leading selection of contemporary footage clips from Israel, as well as footage from Egypt, Morocco and the Palestinian Territories.

The majority of footage has been shot at 4K resolution and includes advanced filming techniques such as timelapse and slow motion.

Luke Smedley, Head of Orchard Clips said: “Yuval is a fantastic cinematographer, producing images that are both technically and compositionally high quality. His wildlife clips get you into the heart of the action, whether that’s following a solitary camel walking across the desert, or immersing you in a gigantic flock of thousands of pelicans.”

Highlights of the collection include aerial footage of the Ashalim Solar Power Station in the Negev Desert, the tree climbing goats of Morocco, and the first video captured of pallid scops owl breeding behaviour.

There is also extensive coverage of the Palestinian Territories, including the Gaza Strip before the recent conflict.

Religious sites are also a focus, with a wide-ranging selection of clips of sites sacred to Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Speaking of the partnership, Yuval Dax said: “Orchard Clips have a well-respected collection of diverse footage from across the Middle East and North Africa. It’s great to see my own clips complementing their collection and made available for producers to enhance their storytelling.”

The clips are available for licensing to documentaries, feature films, education, brands and advertising, worldwide.
