  re: stock footage

  Posted by Steve Foulkrod on December 20, 2011 at 4:52 pm

  Hello,

  I’ve got a big-name client that wants a video thats going to apparently play one time in front of an audience of 150 people or so. It requires high-quality HD stock footage. I’m not sure where to get the footage & how the licensing works? I want to quote this thing correctly & any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks,

  Steve

  I’m a big fan of iStockphoto.com , they have some great video clips.
  Also try:
  https://www.thoughtequity.com
  Revostock.com
  pond5.com
  https://www.digitaljuice.com/products/categories.asp?cid=6

  Hope this helps and best of luck.

  A google search for the term “Stock Footage HD” will bring you a wealth of information. You don’t mention *what* kind of footage you need, so it’s rather hard to give you an answer.

  You most likely want “royalty free”, as rights managed footage will be *very* expensive, even for a “one off” event.

  Some royalty free sources:

  Pond5.com

  gettyimages.com

  thoughtequity.com

  And this site has a free 7 day trial where you can download 20 clips a day:

  and they are a creative cow sponsor.
