DENVER - T3Media, Inc. (formerly Thought Equity Motion), a leading provider of cloud-based video management and licensing services, announced today that it signed an exclusive agreement with the PBR. Under the agreement, T3Media will be digitizing PBR's video library for global accessibility and licensing through www.t3licensing.com.
"Producers around the world can now license the best PBR rides
and wrecks from current and past events into their productions,"
PBR President & COO Sean Gleason said. "Now that our content
has been digitized and ingested into T3Media's Footage Licensing
site, advertising agencies as well as sports, TV, and film
producers will be able to easily search, preview and download our
gripping footage of world-class, professional riders - such as Ty
Murray, Justin McBride, and Silvano Alves."
The PBR
Collection, available exclusively through www.t3licensing.com,
features high-energy clips of professional bull riding. Every
8-second ride is a highlight, and every event delivers dozens of
memorable moments. In addition to thrilling 8-second rides and
jaw-dropping wrecks, there will also be behind-the-scenes
competition footage as well as b-roll of fans, event cities and
arenas across the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada and
Mexico. Not widely available before now, the unique, compelling and
engaging content amazes everyone who sees it. The Collection boasts
HD content from the Built Ford Tough Series and the Built Ford
Tough World Finals.
"As one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S., professional bull riding is a great addition to our vast sports offering," said Kevin Schaff, CEO and founder of T3Media. "We are looking forward to leveraging our platform to increase the value of the PBR's archive and open it up for on-demand licensing in our footage storefront. We have added rich metadata tags to the collection and all clips are backed by full-length event broadcasts, so producers can quickly find specific moments within events and tailor the length of the content to fit their project."
