High Definition (Full HD) footage of Lazio Region scenery, under a Creative Commons license that allows anyone to freely distribute and re-use the entire shot or only a part of it.

The Lazio DNA (Digital Nature Archive) project is a large set of raw full HD footage of lazio region's natural landscape and cultural heritage, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license.

Lazio DNA is aimed to be the first of a "DNA" free-footage collection. In the future we want to see "Sicily DNA", "Veneto DNA", "Lombardia DNA"... and an umbrella "Italy DNA" for exporting the footages and valuing the territory landscape. Companies and Public Administrations can sponsor the project by funding hours of footage.

Imagine a free-to-use professional full HD footage of the Colosseum or Trevi's Fountain available for your new movie, documentary, videoclip, advertisement piece or any other creative remix in your mind.

The Lazio DNA website (coming soon), will make professional footage available for anyone to preview (using an embedded video player) and download the selected scenes using any bitTorrent client. Users can search the entire archive, navigate by location (map) or by categories (tags), watch a low resolution preview using the embedded flash player or some selected video stills and, if they like what they see, they can download the full HD source file using the .torrent file.

The downloaded file is zipped with the licensing text file. Attribution is embedded in the raw video file. Companies or Public Administrations sponsoring the footage get a small logo/text overlay attribution directly on file. If the user needs to use the scene without the overlay (and give credits at the end of your movie), she can obtain a new version at shipping costs only. If she doesn't want or can't give attribution (for example a professional advertisement for one of her customers or if she doesn't want to share alike), she can contact the author to be informed of licensing fees to use her work without attribution. Services for custom footage, editing and .torrent upload and seeding for videos in the Lazio DNA project will also be offered.
