Project Yorkshire
Project Yorkshire is a stock image and video venture by renowned videographers Sid Sadowskyj and Scott Elliot. The Yorkshire duo wrote, directed, and produced the 2019 National Film Awards UK award-winning autobiographical film, 'Scott and Sid'. The team went on to develop a production company to create the film, A Playground Like No Other a film narrated by BAFTA-winning actor Sean Bean. The documentary is a visual love letter to their home, and it has been viewed by millions globally. The film aimed to build global awareness of the Yorkshire region, its people, history, and future. A Playground Like No Other allowed the team to build an extensive stock library of video content, launched under the name 'Y Stock'.
Choosing Lookatme™
Scott and Sid's relationship with Lookatme™ started before the creation of A Playground Like No Other and Y Stock. They went worldwide searching for a Digital Asset Management solution that would meet the dual needs of a feature film production and a stock library. They concluded that online Lookatme™ could manage both the high production value standards of a feature film and the complex curation and delivery needs of a stock library.
Monetising the collection
The Lookatme™ demonstrated to Scott and Sid how organisations like Universal Images Group and Australian Geographic used the ecommerce features of Lookatme™ to monetise their collections. The proven commercial features of Lookatme™ have allowed the team to bring their compelling collection of videos and images to the world securely, creating a reoccurring income stream while promoting the beauty and wonder of Yorkshire.
From enthusiastic clients to ambassadors
Once Scott and Sid and their production company experienced the real-world benefits of the Lookatme™ Digital Asset Management solution, they quickly progressed from enthusiasts to ambassadors.
Today Scott and Sid have become the UK representatives of Lookatme™, helping introduce VisitBritain to the solution at the heart of the brand's new online consumer, trade, and media websites, and beyond.
