Stock Footage

[littlematty]

Hi guys, just wondering if you can suggest any sites for good quality footage to jazz up some of my short films. The sort of shots typically done at the start of a show before it gets into the main content. There are some fantastic royalty free sites out there but if you want the footage, it costs a $h1tload.

Keep up the great work guys. If you can produce seven shows a week, that would reduce my stress levels waiting for the weekly show to come out.

If you wanna do some serious digging, you might be able to find neat stuff on http://www.archive.org/details/movies http://www.archive.org/details/stock_footage
A lot of the footage is either really old, or of varying quality, but there's also a lot that's just really interesting, and has a lot of potential uses.

Also this came up from doing a search for the terms "stock footage" and "creative commons" and it looks like it leads to some very promising media
