Oddball Films is letting you in on some of our most recent stock footage projects in film, television, commercials and more. Recent highlights include providing offbeat footage for the credits for the Emmy nominated series Transparent, The New York Times, Ray Donovan as well as the documentary series OJ: Made in America and We've Been Around about transgender trailblazers. We also did research for Jim Jarmusch’s Iggy Pop documentary Gimme Danger, retro-tech for Danny Boyle’s Academy Award nominated Steve Jobs. And wouldn’t you know it? They came to us when they wanted some 70s smut for The Nice Guys, Ryan Gosling’s latest movie!

We provided several minutes worth of footage for the ESPN documentary series OJ: Made in America (http://espn.go.com/30for30/ojsimpsonmadeinamerica/). From OJ Simpson car commercials to interview footage to vintage cinemascope footage of San Francisco, Oddball footage is all over this eye-opening series that's streaming now.

Other recent exciting projects include providing a Russian music video for the hit Showtime show Ray Donovan, a free clinic full of STD and sex ed snippets for the National Geographic Show Original Sin: Sex, and tons of hippies and homegrown acid freakouts for the New York Times online piece The Long Strange Trip of LSD.

For the morbidly minded, we provided trial footage for a new Investigation Discovery show: A Crime to Remember on the infamous Sam Sheppard trial and retrial that set new standards for allowing the media to influence the jury.
We’ve had a great season of revolutionary-minded docs including Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise, Emory Douglas: The Art of the Black Panthers, and Agents of Change featuring film clips from several decades worth of civil rights revolutionaries. We also provided a wide variety footage from our historical Black Panthers collection for in-gallery exhibitions for the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture which opens in September.
