Dancing with the Stars, For All Mankind Season 2, Asylum Entertainment

Content in the Wild is a regular series about you – your success, your talent and your hard work. In each instalment, we’ll reveal three high-profile projects that are using Pond5 media. All deals were facilitated through the work of the Pond5 Creative Partner Team. Prepare to be inspired because this is where all your hard work is showcased!

  • Dancing with the Stars

    Dancing with the Stars is an American dance competition and television series that premiered June 1, 2005 on the US television network ABC. It is based on the British TV series Strictly Come Dancing produced by BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC.

    Currently, the format has been licensed to air in 60 territories around the world. The format of the show consists of a celebrity paired with a professional dancer. Each couple performs a number of predetermined dances each week, competing against others for judges’ points and audience votes. The couple receiving the lowest combined total of judges’ points and audience votes is eliminated each week until only one couple remains.

    Go to website

  • P5 Commentary

    “Season twenty-nine of Dancing with the Stars premiered September 14, 2020 on the US television network ABC. In the Fall of 2019, I worked closely with the team at Lime Grove Productions, which is responsible for clearance and post-production of this reality TV series.

    The show normally consists of 10-15 episodes so I was thrilled to see how Pond5 could help in their filling air-time due to the unfortunate travel restrictions that were in place. Based on several conversations regarding content the show would need, including establishing shots from places they could not travel to, plus editorial clearances for commercial use, we determined an upfront credit pack deal would help with both savings and licensing efficiency throughout the production. We also gave them a bonus to work with and the show recently wrapped-up filming.

    The new season is packed with celebrities including animal activist and star of Tiger King, Carole Baskin, rapper and singer Nelly, and female actor Anne Heche.”

  • P5 Commentary

    “Pond5 has been providing assets to Asylum Entertainment for several years. I originally negotiated a Minimum Spend Agreement with them back in 2017. In 2018, when Asylum’s production schedule was lighter for the coming 2019 season, Pond5 worked with them on a pay-as-you-go basis. The following year, Asylum’s production schedule increased for 2020 and their need for stock assets increased, so we agreed on a credit pack to provide creative content for all their projects in 2021.”

    “What’s unique about this music video is that it was filmed in the peak of the U.S. coronavirus lockdown. The artists weren’t able to film a traditional video so their team at Sony Music Entertainment reached out to license footage to complete their greenscreen format. Lose Somebody remains at the top of Kygo’s Spotify chart since June. This video is a great example of how stock footage can help creatively when filming on location faces challenges during a pandemic.”

Content in the Wild: September

Absurd Planet, The Chicks – Gaslighter, Louis Vuitton Campaign

Content in the Wild is a fresh, recurring series about you – your success, your talent and your hard work. In each instalment, we’ll reveal three high-profile projects that are using Pond5 media. All deals were facilitated through the work of the Pond5 Creative Partner Team. Stay inspired because this is where your work ends up!

  • Rocky Doris Creative & Netflix: Absurd Planet

    At Pond5, we think animals are hilarious. And you do too! Whether it’s TV shows or viral online videos, people just can’t get enough silly animals. Absurd Planet is a nature documentary produced by Condé Nast Entertainment and Love Productions USA. It was released on April 22, 2020, and distributed by Netflix.

    The show features a unique twist – humorous narration from Mother Nature herself! So check out the trailer link below and the show on Netflix. Maybe you’ll catch Mother Nature joking about one of your clips!

    “The Rocky Doris/Pond5 partnership was born out of a licensing deal with Netflix when they allocated funds for a brand-new episodic production called Absurd Planet. It is a parody of Animal Planet, featuring real animals in nature, but accompanied by SFX (Sound Effects) and quirky voiceovers done by the producers of the show. It’s absurd, silly and family-friendly, and took a full year to put together, just in time to air in our homes at the height of the lockdown in the US. The show is distributed by Netflix, and we worked directly with the production company Rocky Doris based out of California. We were tasked with doing content research for 12 episodes, and a total of 2,099 total assets were licensed total.
    Pond5 makes up about 35% of the content for Season 1.”

    “Sony Music Entertainment came to Pond5 to license several clips for this project. We were able to provide them the license they needed and our content really added something special to the music video. It’s been a while since the band has been performing so naturally, their fans were super excited to get new material from the trio in 14 years! Happy that Pond5 was a part of the journey! ”
