Ian, would some already made film prints help you? (Telecine ready). If you are in the New York City area then local pickup would be practical. Fred, educationalbroadcasting@hotmail.com

My class needs footage for practice...
by Ian Campbell on Mar 22, 2012 at 3:57:22 pm

I'm teaching a little editing at the tail end of our intro film production class and I am finding a hard time locating any footage I can use for my students to work with. I don't really have enough time for them to shoot stuff this year, so I need something flexible and relatively interesting.

I've been looking for a simple scene with dialogue that includes a master shot and a couple different angles and perhaps some cutaways. Most of the footage I find packaged for this purpose is not narrative (i.e. the Premiere classroom in a book dvd contains mostly stock footage and a single interview). Does anyone have a source for something like this, either online for download, youtube or dvd's? Dailies, uncut raw footage from any source, special features, multicamera files, etc...

Thanks.
