shortstories archives the clients' material by default. It is a useful service for them. shortstories captures footage and expressly asks its clients, whether they need us to store this footage and archive it for future client specific purposes. At shortstories we understand how valuable your footage is, not just for this project but also for future projects. We therefore archive all of our projects and footage using a long-term data storage system for 5 years.
