Artbeats' Birth of a Baby Provides In-depth Look at Real-life Birthing Process

A truly unparalleled moment in time, the arrival of a newborn is also one of the most difficult events to effectively document on film. Artbeats' newest royalty-free stock footage collection, Birth of a Baby, conquers that challenge and provides an exceptional and uncensored look inside the real-life human birthing process.

A graphic, yet true-to-life presentation, Birth of a Baby offers multiple camera perspectives including extreme close-up, doctor point-of-view of the birth itself. With over 40 high-quality clips depicting real-time capture of prenatal monitoring, step-by-step delivery process and post-birthing procedures, this footage is ideal for any filmmaker, documentarian or medical presenter in search of a complete library of accurate, cost-effective birthing footage.

“This collection fills an industry void of in-depth human birthing stock footage,” explains President and Founder of Artbeats, Phil Bates. “While imagery of pre- and post-delivery processes may seem abundant, very few offer such vivid footage that fully depicts the story of a real-life birth. We've captured the true experiences of childbirth - the raw emotion and intense pain a mother must go through to bring new life into the world.”

Birth of a Baby offers high-quality cinematography of hard-to-capture moments, including:

• Pre-delivery preparation and heart rate monitoring

• Full, close-up views of the birthing procedure

• Mother's first interaction with newborn

• Doctor's perspective of post-delivery processes

• Newborn care such as weigh-in, immunizations and nursing, and

• Family visitation and interaction

Offered as individual clips or as a complete collection, Birth of a Baby is available in SD and HD formats and joins nearly 2,000 other medical and baby themed clips and collections in the Artbeats library.
