The whole world has been shocked by the devastating earthquake in Haiti. We all want to help and StockFood is determined to contribute too. So whenever you buy an image from StockFood’s Royalty-Free collections, throughout February, March and April, we donate 10% to CARE.
CARE is one of the world’s largest humanitarian aid agencies, and already has enormous experience in Haiti. CARE works within communities to distribute humanitarian relief to those who need it most, safely and securely: food, water, hygiene and first aid kits, tents, generators and bedding. CARE will also be there, helping to rebuild Haiti when the world’s cameras have left.

How high can you go to make a TV commercial. How about 98,000 feet? This project really took our fancy!
Facts about the shoot:
The shots were taken at a staggering 98,268 feet above the earth using Toshiba’s own cameras
To reach the altitude required and to conform with Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the weight of the rig had to be carefully managed to a weight of no more than four pounds
Tied to the rig was a specially created full-sized model chair made of biodegradable balsa wood – the chair was made by a company called Artem and cost about £2,500
Launch coordinates of the rig were – 119 degrees, 14 minutes by 40 degrees, 48 minute (12 miles North-East of the town of Gerlach, Nevada)
The quality of the footage from the Toshiba IK-HR1S cameras was: 1920×1080 pixel count; 1080i @ 50hz; 100 Mbps
The temperature dropped to minus 90 degrees when the chair reached 52,037 feet
The chair took 83 minutes to reach an altitude of 98,268 feet where it broke and took just 24 minutes to fall back down to earth with the rig.
