1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip of the Perseids Meteor Shower

I was very fortunate to have my family vacation time overlap with not only a new moon, but also the Perseids meteor shower event. We were camping in a remote area in the Adirondack mountains, so I decided to take my camera along to see what I could capture.

While I enjoyed what I got, I was using a new time lapse feature that automated the capture differently than how I normally have in the past.  I was able to calculate my exposure using the ever popular "500 rule", which came out to about a 15-second exposure for each frame.  In the past, that meant I needed to set an interval that was HIGHER than 15 seconds to correctly create the time lapse.  Little did I know, this new program factored in the camera's shutter into the interval, which means I could have gotten away with setting a 1-second interval instead of the 16 seconds I had it programmed for.  The camera was also set to go dark, so it did not waste any battery life in inconsequential features.  Since the interval and the shutter time were almost identical, I did not notice that the camera was firing off every other 15 seconds.  The result, while still striking, was about half the amount of frames that I was hoping for in the time I had allotted to be outside, awake and away from my sleeping family.

Let it be a lesson though to anyone looking to go out and do the same.  ALWAYS test new methods and equipment, especially if you are going to places you can't frequent.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Moons You

I've been looking forward to finding a suitable teleconverter for my camera packages, and at the same time, debating on the usability of my GoPro Hero 4 for the purposes of shooting stock footage.  POV and action shots seem a little too personal for general stock purposes.  Being a hobby tech-head as well, I've always enjoyed pushing my electronics to their limit and seeing what interesting things I can accomplish with them. I heard about the Back-Bone Ribcage Mod for GoPros and I became very interested in working with it.  I already have a 180mm macro lens and the crop factor on the c-mount adapter/image sensor is roughly 5.7x meaning my 180mm lens became a 1026mm f/2.8 macro beast!
Since there was a full moon the night of the modding, I had to see what I could get.  There was a slight haze in the sky, which I found pretty neat when watching the footage later.  Looking on some of the big stock sites what I noticed was many of the "moon" shots looked almost faked with a still moon image moving across a black sky.  Not to toot my own horn, the atmosphere on the clip I shot give a sense of realism to the shot. So this full moon is a full resolution HD real time super-telephoto shot for you to use in your project.  Fun fact, the movement is real time, it just looks like it is faster or time lapse-esque because of how small the frame of reference is compared to the sky.  It took me forever to realize it wasn't my tripod drifting on me.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip of My Slowest Time Lapse Yet.

I've been experimenting a little more with time lapses and my intervalometer. I've been really interested in the correlation between interval and focal length. Most of my time lapses have been around 1-second intervals at around a 38mm focal length (I'm factoring in the 1.6 crop factor on the Canon I normally use). This one was done at roughly a 24mm focal length on a full frame camera at 2-second intervals.  I was amazed at how much slower the time was passing on screen.  I guess thought that the changes I made would somehow cancel each other out.  I'd like to get more accurate in reading a situation as to what settings to use to achieve the speed and look I want.  Up until then, I guess I'll have to make available to you all everything that is fit to publish.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Digs Deep

I've wanted to shoot this clip for a long time, but didn't really know a good way to capture it.  I tried mounting the FS700 directly onto my snow shovel, but I could not keep it fastened safely and scoop/throw at the same time.  Usually, I catch most of my clips unprepared, so my aspirations for getting this fell to the wayside early.  It just so happened that I was reading an article on macro photography when I realized that I didn't need MY snow shovel (you know, the one I ACTUALLY use to clear the snow), just A snow shovel.  I immediately thought of my kid's tiny red shovel that they would play with when I go out.  I was able to hold this shovel underneath and keep both it and the camera steady while I scooped and tossed.  Since I was using a wide and macro lens, I was able to fill the frame with what looks like a relatively normal sized shovel.  A happy byproduct is that the snowflakes look crisp and large this close to the camera.  I also was not counting on the force and energy that the snow displayed when it was tossed.  I love how the entire chunk is flung from the shovel before it breaks up.

I wanted this clip to be a companion piece to my lawnmower and leaf raking videos.  To finish out the series I need a springtime themed POV shot.  Feel free to offer your suggestions in the comment section below or on our Facebook page.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip to Make up for Me Being Flaky


Happy New Year everyone!  It has been a while since I last posted. The holidays were busy, and the new year started up the same, but I am happy to have found time to upload another clip. During the past 2 months, I've tried to capture a bunch of things, and most of them didn't work out to my liking.  That is part of the reason why you haven't seen too much. I've decided to go simple and grabbed something that compliments one of my most popular offerings. This time though, the snow is falling in real time and the camera has been pointed up so the flakes come down toward the lens.  This shot is 100% practical, so there is no pre-comped matte or alpha channel. You shouldn't have many issues overlaying onto another clip though using some layer blending options in your editor. Hope you like it and I hope it helps!

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip for the Ladies

Very recently, my backyard became the "go to" place for ladybugs.  It turns out that it is where they decided to have their mating sessions, so the whole place was crawling with them.  On the day I noticed, it was also extremely windy, so the opportunities to capture some macro shots were limited, mostly because of the amazingly thin depth of field I had with my Sigma 180mm lens.  I DID manage to capture the clip I've included below.  I was able to follow it up this dying stalk of grass for a while, until the angle of my tilt, drew it out of focal range.  At that point I decided to let it leave the frame instead of racking the focus and possibly ruining the movement. It is amazing how intricate these creatures are.  I love making the macro world a little larger.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is up in Flames

I'm happy to offer this clip for you to use, but can't take 100% of the credit for it's creation.  What I mean by that, is this was created by using a free effects preset for After Effects by the amazing people over at RocketStock. They have a pretty awesome "freebie" (I like to consider it outreach) area where they offer this preset. While I did create the "solid" the effect was applied to, and  I manipulated and altered the flames to my liking, their free preset did a lot of the heavy lifting. So if you get a chance after downloading this, go check out RocketStock and see what they are all about, they deserve the traffic.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is Calm, but Under Pressue

Here is another time lapse I was able to capture while I was in the Adirondack mountains. This was the beginning of what looked like a beautiful morning. Calm waters, wispy clouds, nice sunrise. You see though, that the water quickly changes as the wind picks up. The clouds come in, the sky darkens and before you know it ... torrential rain lasting a good part of the day.  I had to cut my capture short, fearing that the weather might get the best of my naked DSLR.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is Not a Bad Hazing

Had a beautiful yet hazy morning in the Adirondacks when I was able to capture this time lapse.  Although the haze on the mountain range wasn't ideal, there was a lot to appreciate in this scene.  I like the way the lower clouds move over the mountains in the right corner of the screen.  The sun was coming up off camera left and casting some pretty cool rays on the clouds as well. The clouds differing intensities, from fluffy white, to ominous grey was pretty neat, and the different direction the fog on the water traveled from the atmosphere was nice.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is Not Focused on Streaming

I was watching an outdoors program on television and was amazed at how often they cut to a shot like the one I have available below. Most of the time it was used when the show was thanking a sponsor, so they'd CG the logo in the center of the clip. Having a nice background like this could be helpful in your projects. Hopefully you'll find a good place for this footage in your own works. Hope it helps!

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Inches Along

My raindrop clip was so popular, when I saw a downpour outside, I immediately ran to get my camera to see what I could capture with the 180mm Macro.  Immediately I saw this guy cruising across the walkway.  I was able to place my camera on the ground just under my awning and get a somewhat ground level view.  The falling drops in super slow motion make this clip seem like the worm is navigating a war zone.  If you notice, at 240fps he is still moving quite quick.  If you have the time, try speeding this clip up in your editor by 10x to see how fast it was really going.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is Back to Nature

I had a beautiful morning the other day.  The tree these leaves were on caught my eye because of how transparent they became when backlit by the sun.  Doing this for almost 4 years now, I've really started to appreciate how intricate nature is, so much more now that I have this telephoto macro lens.  The veins in this leaf are to me, are so perfect and a wonderful symbol of life in general.  The tiny specs of dust and cottonwood seeds floating around in the background, along with the soft bokeh of the sunlight passing through a neighboring tree make me feel at peace.  This would be a perfect clip for visual poetry or a meditative collection.

2 Completely Free Stock Footage Clips for Every Fiber of Your Being

I've made 2 more clips using the optical fibers I had on hand.  The lamp passes a spectrum of color through the filament, so you get a pulsing wash of color.  If you are interested in a more sterile clip, I had success in first reducing the saturation completely, and then adding a light sterile blue hue to it.  The result is a pulsing "tech" blue light that you would normally attribute to something IT or computer related.

The first clip is a straight on shot from the side, of the filaments sticking out of the lamp.  This would work great as a background for text or during an open or credit roll.  The second is a shot from the top down, out of focus to enhance the bokeh.  This would be helpful as either a background or a slightly opaque overlay.

I am very interested to see what you can do with these.

I hope you enjoy these two clips. You are welcome to use them in your projects you are working on, or keep them in your clip library for future work.The only thing you cannot do is turn around and offer them AS stock footage. Have fun with them!

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Needs Fiber

I found a fiber optic filament filament lamps at a thrift store and we have been using it as my daughter's night light.  I had originally bought it to get a few stock footage clips from it.  The one here will be the first of a few.  I want some others to be slightly more generic so people can use it in their projects about technology.  If you follow me regularly, you know that I love using negative space and I think for stock purposes it is very valuable.  Many times stock footage is very helpful as place-cards and/or backgrounds for more information.  I've kept the rainbow coloring, but you are obviously welcome to change it based on your needs.  I had luck making a default "fiber optic blue" by de-saturating the clip and then adding color back using a "hue" effect in premiere.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Blows

I had much different expectations when I tried to capture this clip.  Working again with my macro lens and it's razor thin and shallow depth of field, it became very obvious that I would need an extremely controlled environment in order to capture what I originally wanted.  What is here, while not what I planned, is the organized chaos you find in a lot of projects that wish to depict kind of "dream-like" emotions.

Honestly, I can't take credit for this one.  None of the stuff here was intentional.  The shifting depth of field wasn't due to camera work, but from the movement of the dandelion while it was being blown and held.  The shot also looks handheld, but it is on a tripod.  I discounted it the minute it wrote to the the SD card and didn't even look at it for a while after, just moved on to the next idea.  When things slowed down and I had a chance to sit down, I was very pleased at what I found.  Everything is working against itself, and you know what, it works! Hope you can use it!

2 Free Stock Footage Clips Are Over the Hill

Ever since I first tried my macro lens, I knew I wanted to try getting a shot like this. I happened to notice a few ant colonies popping between up my backyard patio stones, saw the sun was hitting them perfectly, ran and got my camera and viola!

You can see the ants are busy carrying sand out of the hill, they must still be in the early building stages. The clips are from 2 separate hills. The lens crates a razor thin depth of field. From some of the shots I took, ants would turn sideways, and I couldn't get their entire body in focus. I am thankful for the FS700's "End Trigger" ability which allows me to capture the footage at 240p AFTER I've seen the action. I waited around for these buggers to hang out in the "sweet spot" for long enough that I felt like it could be a usable clip. If you look closely in the background of both clips, you can see that there is actually a lot of commotion, the focus drops off so quickly though that it is tough to focus on all of it.

I hope you enjoy these two clips. You are welcome to use them in your projects you are working on, or keep them in your clip library for future work.The only thing you cannot do is turn around and offer them AS stock footage. Have fun with them!

2 Free Stock Footage Clips are Narcissus-tic

Spring is finally here and with it come the beautiful blooming flowers.  I have a wealth of these daffodils (narcissus) in my backyard and have always wanted to try capturing this bulb blooming through a time lapse.  I initially set up my camera outside at a group of daffodils that looked ready to open.  The intervalometer on my T2i took pictures every 25 seconds for 6 hours without the petals opening at all.  With no more sunlight, I packed up and waited until the next day.  I did take the image files and compile a short preview and what I saw was the flowers moving around so much due to outside wind that I knew I wasn't going to get a descent looking image if they were to bloom, so the next morning I took out a pot and some potting soil and moved one of bulbs inside.  I set up a makeshift studio on my tool bench with a white foam core background.  I set the camera to take a picture every 25 seconds again and left it to work.  Coming back I had noticed that the stem had slowly moved the flower closer to my light source and slightly out of frame.  The flower did not open yet, so I braced the stem just out of frame with a thick copper wire and then set the intervalometer to take a picture once every minute (hey, if it is going to take a while, might as well take a while).  A let the camera go for a day and a half and came back to a full SD card and a fully bloomed flower.  I had my fingers crossed when previewing the images and luckily it bloomed before I ran out of space. YAY!

Since the original RAW image is quite large, I was able to create two video files for you.  The close up is an real size 1:1 crop of the larger image and the wide is a scaled (resized) image to fit into the HD frame.  What is nice is these files should be timed in sync so when you lay them together on a timeline you could seamlessly cut between the two.

So not bad for my first experience with capturing growing plants.  I'll eventually like to get some grass and vegetables, but as for now, this is pretty nice.  Hope they help and hope you can use them!

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is All Flash and No Bang

Included among my party popper purchase was also some sparklers.  I wanted to sparks and clip to be sort of an obscure background with the embers being somewhat out of focus with some beautiful bokeh.  I passed a couple in front of the camera and thought that they worked out pretty well.  Hopefully the clip will be useful to illustrate a celebration or festival, or to be used as an overlay or special effect.

1 Completely Free Stock Footage Clip Is Never the Same

This is probably the last remnant of the Northern Hemisphere's winter snowfall season.  This was taken very late at night, late March.  I was getting the house set up for my newly 5 year old's birthday party the next morning when I looked outside to see HUGE snowflakes falling from the sky.  An inch or so already on the ground, I thought it would be another good test for my 180mm macro lens.  Since it was so late and I knew I was going macro, I used my trusty R-300 ring light as a source.  It worked out well, since the very white snow is a natural bounce.  I panned an area of our backyard picnic table searching for a good flake since it was the same height as where the camera was on the tripod, so I could get pretty close.  The ring light hit this one icy flake in particular and the peaking on my camera (which is used to help focus) went crazy.  What a perfect snowflake!  I tried a couple of different speeds, but went with the normal real time in the end.  The depth of field is so razor thin, you really can't see how hard it is snowing, and the slow motion produced almost a still image.  At it's current speed, you can also see how fast the flakes were falling due to their enormous size and of course weight.  As with the computer screen in my last post, a lot of close up snowflake shots are now done digitally, so I though a real life one would be a good option for those of you in need of something like this.  Hope you can use it!

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.
