StormStock® is a specialized archive of premium weather and climate footage created by filmmaker Martin Lisius and professional cinematographers since 1993. The collection includes tornadoes, hurricanes and typhoons, lightning, supercells, dramatic storm clouds, flooding, storm surge, winter storms, dust storms, wildfire conditions, atmospheric phenomena and climate-related imagery.
Rare and distinctive material includes Hurricane Katrina filmed during landfall, historic tornado footage, Super 35mm film scanned to 4K, and original 4K, 8K and 16K cinematography—including the world's first 16K stock footage. Every clip is 100% camera-captured and AI-free, professionally curated, rights-managed, and created by identified filmmakers rather than contributor uploads.
Unlike contributor marketplaces, StormStock continues to expand its archive by producing new original weather cinematography every storm season. Footage is licensed worldwide for documentaries, television, feature films, advertising, streaming productions, museums and educational projects.
Our team works directly with archive producers, footage researchers and production companies to locate the best material quickly, provide preview files, answer technical questions and expedite licensing. Clients work directly with the filmmakers who created the imagery, providing production knowledge and subject expertise that general stock footage libraries cannot offer.
StormStock specializes in rare, difficult-to-source weather footage and provides direct access to the filmmakers who created it. When productions require authentic weather cinematography, our goal is to be the first call.
