Stock XL2 footage needed quick!
 
I'm finishing my short film and am in desparate need of a stock shot.
I could do it but the cost of renting the lights, set-up, time, etc would exceed my budget and time allocation.
What I'm looking for is a 24p, 16:9, -3 gain, exterior night shot of a house (large colonial style or similar) with no lights on inside but lit well enough from the outside to where the exterior can be seen.
If I have to give a frame of reference think of John Carpenter's "Halloween" where the night exterior shots of the houses were lit but not overly so and dark on the interior.
Something 5 seconds or more is sufficient.
I've found a few HD examples but have neither the experience or inclination (or time for that matter) to futz around with down-rez.
If anybody has something like this in their library I'm willing to pay the usual rate for the clip from which I researched for DV is around $99-$150.00.
Please contact me through my e-mail address if you have anything of this nature.
Also, no apartments, condos, modular homes or trailers.
Traditional houses only, please.
Thanks, everyone.

I'm guessing no one has anything stock that's close to this? I do want to make it clear that I am not looking for anyone to go out and shoot this. That would be ridiculous. I am merely looking for anyone who has an exisiting stock clip that they can sell royalty free at the going rate for DV clips.

for an extremely specific shot, your willing to give an extremely limited amount of money

I'm not sure I'm getting you. What does me being so specific have to do with the price?
Should I be charged more for being specific about a stock clip that may already exist in someone's library alongside hundred of other clips for the same price?
Sorry, I'm pretty confused at your logic.
No problem, though as I have the footage already.
