Nobody wants to work hard and spend lots of money on a multimedia project only to have it pirated. The more difficult or expensive it is for you to produce something, the more likely it will be stolen.

We recently provided support for Starbuck's Give Good campaign. 

Prairie Pictures' Aerial department (PPA) has been busy this year providing high views on several productions. 

Prairie Pictures' StormStock, a footage collection specializing in severe weather since 1993, is covering the impact of major category 5 Hurricane Irma as it approaches the US. 

For StormStock cinematographer and founder Martin Lisius, it was a storm like no other he’s witnessed. “Up until now, Hurricane Katrina was the most intense storm I’ve experienced,” he said. “There are three types of hurricanes; surge, wind and rain. Katrina is the record holder for storm surge, while Harvey now leads for flooding rains. Really, two exceptional storms occurring just within the last 12 years, both getting their super powers from the Gulf.”

Founder and filmmaker Martin Lisius captured a series of tornadoes in southwest Iowa for his StormStock collection earlier this summer. 

“After witnessing so many amazing supercells over the years, all other thunderstorm types become rather uninteresting,” Lisius said. That’s because supercells produce virtually all significant tornadoes and giant hail, in addition to prolific lightning shows. They occur around the world, but are especially common in an area from Texas to the Dakotas.
