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 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 Driving Hard

Got this great macro shot when I unexpectedly had one of my computer hard drives quit on me.  It would try to spin up but it couldn't read anything.  I decided to open it up and capture it before I disposed of it.  What I love most about this shot is the fact that I lit it using a "flash" app on my Google Nexus 7 which I normally use as a preview monitor with the DSLR controller app.
