Flim

What Flim is

Flim is a visual search engine for people who work with images. It indexes stills and clips from films, series, commercials and music videos so directors, designers and advertising teams can find reference material quickly.

What you can do with it

• Search scenes and stills by description
• Build moodboards from real footage
• Study composition, colour and lighting
• Find references for a storyboard
• Assemble material for a pitch

Who it is for

• Directors and cinematographers
• Designers and advertising creatives
• Anyone building visual references

What to watch out for

• Footage and stills are copyrighted works: reference use is different from reuse, and publishing them in your own material requires clearance
• Searching by description returns approximate matches, so expect to browse
• Availability and resolution vary by title
• Do not assume anything found here is licensed for commercial use
