Demo Reel Footage
Hi
I am looking for footage for editing to use in my demo reel. Obviously not having a job using after effects I have to create ‘spoof’ projects and titling sequences to create my reel.
Anyone have any insight into acquiring various raw footage to get creative with in after effects.
Can you use Final Cut or Premiere to lift snippets from dvds for example?
I do not own a camcorder either before someone suggests that.
Thanks in advance.

Try MPEG Streamclip.

You probably don’t want to scab footage form dvds.
Check out the video at iStock.com or look around for CC Licensed video. Don’t forget all the public domain stuff out there.
If you grow hundred dollar bills instead of hair on your head, any stock video site should have some goodies to use.

Oops — sorry, I forgot it was for a demo reel. For some reason, I thought it was a school thing.
Yeah, don’t take it from DVDs. Makes you look bad.

Hi
Just so we are on the same page Im not taking about using footage from AAA Blockbusters and the like more low key and documentaries. Think title sequences for music(mtv-ish) style programs or factual documentaries/indie films.
I dont really have the sort of money these stock images sites are charging.
This is a career changing Show reel not a school project…..my education days are looooooooooooong gone :O)
Thanks for the advice thus far
