The Press Gazette reported today that Splash News, a British owned US celeb news agency, has bought the Kaplan archive, which includes 4,000 videos compiled by Gary and Rachelle Kaplan since 1994.
Splash proprietor Kevin Smith said: “Video is the great buzz word in our industry now, with publications waking up to the potential of moving footage on their websites." We have been hearing that same thing for the last few years here at Cutcaster and are happy others are seeing this as well.
“Splash generates between 20 and 60 video clips a day, but our library was sorely lacking depth. Kaplan fills that void.”
Digitising, keywording and uploading the videos to their site will take two months.
