Robert Bocking Productions, Ltd

Robert Bocking Productions, Ltd., located in Downsview, Ontario, is a specialist stock-footage library offering wildlife, nature, and scenic film footage — a resource well-suited for documentary filmmakers, environmental projects, broadcasters, and any production seeking high-quality natural imagery. With decades of footage captured across North and Central America, this library has historically supplied material for numerous documentaries, commercials, and broadcast productions.

A Legacy of Nature Footage

Robert Bocking Productions is acknowledged (in archival film-library references) as a provider of nature and wildlife footage including animals, birds, landscapes, and slow-motion aerial or scenic sequences. Their catalog, once distributed on CD-ROM for review, was noted for a standout clip: slow-motion flight footage of Canadian geese — a clip cited as amongst the “most-used” by clients.

This footage library has been used in the past by public-broadcast and documentary producers including those associated with educational and natural-history programming.

What the Library Offers

Wildlife & Animal Footage: Native Canadian fauna such as birds, mammals, and scenic wildlife behavior sequences.

Nature & Scenic Elements: Landscapes, forests, water bodies, seasonal transitions, and natural environments — useful for establishing shots, B-roll, background plates, and environmental context.

Stock Footage Formats & Licensing: While historically distributed via CD-ROM for review, the library is marketed towards professional filmmakers seeking licensed footage for documentaries, commercials, educational, and broadcast content.

North American Scope: While based in Ontario, the footage collection spans across North and Central America, offering a diverse range of habitats and natural settings for varied project needs.

Why Filmmakers Should Consider Robert Bocking Productions

Authentic, archival-style nature footage: For documentary makers, environmental films, climate pieces, or narrative features needing natural-history visuals without staging.

Ready stock — no shoot required: Rather than organizing wildlife shoots (which require permits, time, unpredictability), sourcing trustworthy stock footage streamlines production.

Coverage of Canadian and North American ecosystems: Valuable for productions with Canadian context or needing genuine natural settings.

Potential for educational and broadcast use: Given its historical use in educational videos and nature programming, the library likely includes broadcast-quality footage acceptable for TV or documentary projects.
