2 Free Stock Footage Clips Are Already Trimmed

I managed to grab these two clips while we had our Christmas tree up this season.  The hardest part of this shot was grouping a collection of generic ornaments in order to ensure all displaying rights are clear.  All of the ones here are hand made I believe.  I love the heart cinnamon ornament you see at the beginning, I've had it for a while and adds a great scent along with the pine.

A holiday post like this on December 27th isn't exactly that helpful initially though huh?  I could have sat on this a year until right before next year's Christmas season, but the beauty of stock footage is having footage that is out of season so you do not have to recreate it yourself.  That being said, I hope this comes in handy whenever you may need it.  Hope everyone is having a great holiday season, and a happy new year!!!

2 Clips are Making the Fire Work

So it is with great happiness that I am able to share with you these 2 clips, yet I am also greatly disappointed in myself for the state that their audio is in.  I was in a great position to visually record these fireworks, but I was also 2 feet away from an air conditioner that was working hard to keep a 5 story building cool.  The result was a VERY annoying fan hum throughout the entire show.  The slow motion clips themselves did not record audio because that is not something the FS700 does.

I tried to add some audio effects to the footage, but everything I tried seemed to only fit my own personal taste.  I DID manage to find a really cool site in the process of trying to find sound for these.  It is a site that also offers free media and as far as I'm concerned a place you should visit just as much as you do my blog.  It is from the FinalCutKing himself Zach King and it is called http://sweetsoundeffects.com.  The link will take you directly to his Fireworks Sound Effects package.  I have no doubt that with a little TLC, you can personalize the sound for this footage to your liking.   Please visit, give him some love, follow him on Facebook and subscribe to him on YouTube.

2 Clips For All Of You 'Weeners

I'm a little late with these (or very early with them?!?!).  I guess if people celebrate Christmas in July, Halloween in May shouldn't be too far off. 

I managed to film these clips around Halloween of last year and haven't really had much time to put them up considering they wouldn't exactly be topical until next October.  I do want the make sure they are up here in plenty of time for this year's holiday so people can have the opportunity to use them.

You have the option of downloading a PhotoJPEG, H.264 or WMV file. I'd also like to go back and update all of the earlier clips and will do so eventually.  Doing so is a very big time commitment for me with the current processing power of my computer.

1 Free Stock Footage Clip Yule Love

Happy Holidays Everyone! 

I know some of you may not celebrate Christmas, and eventually I hope to have stock footage of different celebrations as well.  It just so happens that I have initial access to X-mas decorations.  This is fortunately one of my more timely posts.  I am happy to be able to get this one up before the actual date.  You'll see when I am finally able to upload the Halloween stuff I shot in October.  Hope this helps!

As you may know, recently I am pushing the boundaries as far as how many media files I can associate with each clip through Archive.org.  You have the option of downloading a PhotoJPEG, H.264 or WMV file. I'd also like to go back and update all of the earlier clips and will do so eventually.  Doing so is a very big time commitment for me with the current processing power of my computer.

1 Clip to Remember

This site gets a lot of visitors from around the world.  My goal has always been inclusion, but since I live in the United States, unfortunately my day to day activities are centralized more around what is going on Stateside.  This weekend is the holiday "Memorial Day" and I came across these two flags wrapped together and quite aged.  I thought I would capture them quickly and offer them to you guys. 

I understand that Memorial Day is an American holiday, but no matter where you are reading this from, my thoughts and prayers go out of you, your family, your friends, your service members, and your community. 

Safe is Safe and War is Hell.  That should be a global feeling.

There are also more Memorial Day related clips on the "Holiday" page

1 Clip for America

This is just a little something I put together in After Effects.  Thought some people might find it useful with Veterans Day coming up on the 11th of November.

Note: I would love to specialize other clips for other countries that visit this site, but unfortunately I am not in tune with holidays that specifically exist in other countries.  I hope to do more research and be able to offer those as well, with at least some sort of honorable context.

animated united states stars set in front of the patriotic blue background of the flag.  Great for use in a 4th of july piece or flag day.

3 Completely Free Stock Footage Clips - 2 Halloween Clips and 1 Traffic Time Lapse

Wanted to get a few more Halloween themed clips up here before it gets too close to the holiday.  I am also including another traffic time-lapse I did, this one being a little more "trippy" than practical, as another thank you for all the traffic this blog has been getting lately.  We now average about 125 people a day coming through here.
