  • recommendation on a stock footage website?

    Posted by Adam Lewen on February 2, 2020 at 6:31 pm

    Hi there, I need to compose two shots, and trying to find/buy a good video/videos of:
    1. pieces/debris exploding/flying as a cake was smashed
    2. good looking fire/flames to enhance a on location flames (with alpha)
    I have bought (years ago VideoCoPilot’s Action Essentials, which I use a lot, but this time I cannot find the ‘right’ footage, and not from a general web search…)
    Thought asking here might help!
    Attaching ref shots


    Thank you so much, any tip/advice is appreciated!

    Another good one is Motion Array; you get access to unlimited downloads of footage, music, sfx, and After Effects projects for only $30 a month. Not all of the content is amazing, but for the price, it’s worth it.

    I’m a huge fan of Action VFX. Great quality stuff.
