Re: long form stock footage?
by Andrew Freiband on Jan 20, 2008 at 4:33:19 pm

All good suggestions. I would be the first one on a plane to go and shoot this stuff, but what I need in this case is ~60 seconds of, let's say, Big Ben, locked down, and then ~60 seconds of the pyramids, locked down, and then 60 secs of, lets' say, the Great Wall of China. There's a bunch of them. Not too many budgets going to accommodate that sort of globetrotting. It's a talking head to be placed in front, but without enough distraction to make looping or slowmo feasible. I'm currently working with the few ~20 second clips I've found which can be looped, but it drastically reduces my choices. I'm just surprised there isn't a bigger marketplace for simple scenic clips like this that can be used for composited backgrounds. Revostock is nice, but the longest thing I've found there is about 15 secs (same for Digital Juice, which is what I'm using since I'm crunched and need it now, plus I already own the libraries). Though I'd love to know if Silvermanstock has longer usable clips - if not for this one (deadline looming) then for the next.

Thanks all
