1 Free Stock Footage Clip Is Following Protocol

Here is one of your more "typical" stock footage shots.  A lot of them are created digitally in a program like after effects, which is nice because you are able to produce a smooth clean look.  This shot is completely practical, taken from a real LCD monitor, and I learned quite a bit from shooting it.  Using my 180mm macro lens, I was able to get quite close to the screen (as you can obviously see).  What you see here is the red, blue, and green subpixels that make up each pixel in this LCD screen.  The subpixels are able to be addressed separately and help with things like font smoothing when viewed with the human eye.  I found this fascinating, because originally I thought it was an lens byproduct from poor focus called "Chromatic Aberration".  Seeing the red, green, blue pattern though, 2 things are clear.  This IS a pretty cool example of subpixeling, and this lens kicks some butt!

I've given a few address options in the clip.  You'll get the typical "http://www.", the "https://www", the "ftp://" and the "www.".    It wasn't until uploading the file that I realized I should have also included "192.169.1." into this group as well.  Sorry for that.

1 Free Stock Footage Clip Is Ready to Pop

What you see here is a collection of 6 party poppers in super slow motion.  Right off the bat, I'll admit that this clip as not exactly as exciting and dynamic as I hoped it "COULD" be.  It is the extent of what I think I have legally do personally with "explosives" in the great state of New York.  While I am somewhat kidding, there really wasn't much more I could have added that would have been possible while doing something in a small studio setup in my home.  As this site and my capabilities grow, I hope to offer more than just a few novelty favors.

1 Free Stock Footage Clip Is Being Fast Tracked

I've actually had this clip in my library for a descent amount of time and forgot about it.  Sorry!

I had the opportunity to go to New York City for a production I was helping shoot, and captured this in some off time.  Unique to this, and missing from a lot of my other clips, ambient audio IS included. There was nothing recognizable, so I felt comfortable leaving it in.  It also helps in adding a little atmosphere.  The video and audio is loop-able, so it would be useful as a background and might even be applicable as a plate shot for you VFX people.  Hope you find it helpful!!!!

2 Free Stock Footage Clips Are Key

Since I've lived in my current place, I've had this old piano in the basement.  It was left there when the old homeowners moved out.  While it is need of some crucial TLC, I don't have it in my heart to get rid of it.  I've cleaned it up quite a bit, and what you even see here was after a considerable about of dusting (The hammers were gray when I started!).  I took the opportunity, while I had it opened up, to catch a couple of clips to offer here.

What you see is my FS700 with my Sigma 180mm macro lens lit with my F&V R-300 Ring light.  I would have liked to have a few more light sources so I could have closed my iris a bit and opened up the field of view a little more and still capture it at 240 frames per second.

I am happy with what I could get, I am glad I did it, and I am glad I learned what I need to do better.  Hope you can use it!!!
