Where to buy good Stock Video Footage?

[Brandon]

I have looked at istockphoto, getty, etc. but haven't found any really good footage for what I need. It looks like most of the sites that I have come across sell the same pieces of footage. I know a lot of TV commercial production companies use stock video.

Anyone know some other good places?

There are places that sell collection CDs with footage, like stock photos back in the day. Many production companies use those sources. I find that the video stock hasn't evolved as much online yet. But it's definitely upcoming. Your best bet is to just google something like "stock video your keyword".

 

[Brandon]

Yeah, I tried that already.

I have even seen some videos online that are using stock footage, but I can't seem to find the clips they are using on any of the stock video sites.

Yeah, that's because they don't use stock video sites. They use things like this: Digital Juice - The Leader in Royalty Free Professional Animations, Stock Footage, Music, Layered Graphics, Clip Art and Templates

Check out Video Hive too.

Love the B Roll!

Video Hive is mostly motion graphics. Digital Juice has some video footage, but not a ton. Thx for the link to digital juice though, I hadn't seen that site before.
