Royalty Free Video
 

There are a lot of royalty free video clips sites on the internet, but does anybody have any idea were can I get some clips that show nice offices, rich people, exotic places, and most importantly have this rich look to it!!! Cause I'm having a hard time finding such clips!!!

I actually don't think there are a lot of free video clips on the
internet at all (as you claim). Especially at full resolution / quality.
I haven't ever seen any. Usually you need to buy stock
footage which includes the right to use it in your movies.

yeah that's excatly what I had actually wanted, stock footage

Try a Google search as I did. Comes up with some links.
Even some sponsered ones that might be interesting.

There are a 'ton' of royalty-free video offerings out there.

www.artbeats.com
www.timeimage.com

are a couple.

A few stock footage houses
 

www.thinkstockfootage.com
www.digitaljuice.com
www.dvcuts.com
www.veer.com
www.liquidlibrary.com
www.creatas.com
www.comstock.com

This should get you started.

This link for video footage was posted on another DV users group.

There's a big difference between free and royalty free, of course. Most are royalty free. They're usually around 100 bucks for a ten second clip, you pay once and can use it either for a year or in perpetuity.
Creatas.com I really like.

try this.. a lot of good older stuff

That is more than stock footage...that is entertaining! Thanks!!

Why don't we do it here
 

It occurs to me that this forum could help people share and footage on a cooperative basis.

How about a whole new forum where people can announce what they've got to offer or what they're looking for? We could even commission snippets from each other. I know there's allready something a bit like this but it doesn't seem to be used much. Perhaps rebranding it as "The Swop Shop" or something would help,

For example, I could easily go out and shoot the Palace of Westminster or rolling English countryside but if I want a sunset in the Arizona desert I'd be stuffed.

What do others think?

BTW, why does everyone use the word Royalty, even if they live in a republic?

This has been talked about in several threads. We hesitate to organize such a forum for various reasons relating to possible copyright conflicts. We would have no way of verifying claims of ownership etc. At the present time members just put out a request for footage.

Thanks Jeff
 

Thanks for taking the time to respond. That sounds reasonable enough.

These are more of abstract clips, but check out the Kick Back Tracks link below my name to check them out.
