David,
If you are not already selling some of your clips as stock footage, you should be. I think many of them would find buyers.

Yeah already tried things like MotionArray and Storyblocks, and all rejected cos the quality 'isn't to a high enough standard'. Must admit there's some pretty high 'correction' going on with a lot of it, and was using a Canon T3i and my phone most of the time, so you can kinda understand...

Give me a RED for free and I'll go shoot it all again!! :)

You don't need a Red. Even a Sony AX700 or NX80 is more than good enough for street-style stock footage. I've sold a lot of footage from my Z90, which is the same camera with a few extra bells and whistles. The key is that you need a real camcorder instead of a stills camera or phone pretending to shoot video. That makes all the difference in the world. Your biggest investment is the time you will spend shooting, so why not use proper gear and take it to a higher level? Here's my advice:

1) If you're going to shoot video then use a real video camera.
2) If you're going to shoot video (for whatever reason), then you should shoot it with stock in mind and kill two birds with one stone. The income from stock can pay for all the gear you want --- and then some.
