Introduction
In film and television production, every second counts. When a set decorator needs a specific piece of art to dress a room, the last thing they want to deal with is legal red tape.
Traditionally, sourcing artwork meant tracking down the artist, negotiating a contract, and securing model or property releases. If a production company skipped this step, they risked expensive copyright strikes or having to digitally erase the art in post-production.
Enter pre-cleared art.
At Download Artwork, we have created a streamlined solution that allows film, TV, and video game producers to source stunning, high-resolution artwork with zero legal hassle. Here is how our Broadcast & Entertainment License is changing the game for production teams.
What Does “Pre-Cleared” Actually Mean?
In the art world, you cannot simply buy a print and put it on a movie set. You need permission to broadcast that image globally, often forever.
Pre-cleared art means that all the necessary legal permissions have already been secured by us. Our Broadcast & Entertainment License includes:
Complete Legal Clarity: Every artwork in our Broadcast collection is an original creation or a photograph of a public landmark (protected under Freedom of Panorama). We guarantee there are no un-cleared celebrities, trademarked characters, or copyrighted modern sculptures in the frame, ensuring your production is legally safe.
Worldwide Usage: Your production is covered globally.
Perpetual Rights (Per Project): Once licensed, you can use the art forever within that specific production.
When you download art from our Broadcast collection, it is legally ready for immediate use on screen. No paperwork, no clearance delays, and no hidden fees.
The “Print to Size” Advantage
Set design requires exact measurements. A standard poster size rarely fits a custom-built set wall.
Because we supply high-resolution digital downloads (often up to 9000 x 13500 pixels), production teams are not limited by pre-set sizes. You can print our art to the exact dimensions of the frame or wall on set. Every line, texture, and colour gradient remains pin-sharp, ensuring the artwork looks believable on a 4K or 8K screen.
Why Choose Download Artwork Over Rental Agencies?
Many production companies rely on weekly art rental agencies. While these services are convenient, they often charge exorbitant weekly fees (sometimes $150 per week, per digital file). Over the course of a long shoot, these costs add up quickly.
We offer a smarter alternative:
One-Time Fee: Purchase the artwork once with our Broadcast License, and you own the rights to use it in that production forever.
Instant Access: Download the files immediately and send them straight to your printer.
Curated Collections: Instead of scrolling through millions of generic stock images, choose from exclusive, high-end collections like the Luminous Art series by Michael Paul Bennett or the Sicily in Black & White photography collection by Mark Marsh.
Art for Every Genre
Whether you are dressing a gritty sci-fi thriller, a high-end corporate office, or a period drama, our collections offer something for every script:
-
Sci-Fi & Fantasy: The abstract, glowing forms of the Luminous Art collection are perfect for futuristic sets, laboratories, or alien worlds.
-
Fine Art & Drama: Our digital remasters of classic paintings and vintage posters add historical depth to period pieces.
-
Modern & Corporate: Our black and white photography and abstract prints are ideal for dressing contemporary offices, restaurants, or apartments.
