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!!!

1 Free Stock Footage Clip is Purr-fect

I happened to walk by my little tortoiseshell cat "Lady" the other day on my way to grab a shot of the snow falling outside.  She was laying on the top of an armchair near a window in a very calm mood.  Since I knew she wasn't going anywhere for a while, and I was curious as to how close my Sigma 180mm lens could get to her, I set up my camera and was able to capture this.  Shooting this wide open at a 2.0 and at a fixed 180mm, the depth of field is quite thin but thankfully Lady stayed still long enough to keep the pupil in focus for a usable period of time.  Hope you like it!

1 Free Stock Footage Clip Forgot to Fall

Well it has been a while hasn't it?

I apologize for the larger than normal gap between postings.  Life has thrown me in a few directions this past month, but it is stabilizing, so I hope to get back to a more regular posting schedule.  Winter is also a tough time to shoot. Since I have no indoor studio space to really occupy, I have to allot a good amount of time of setup and take-down to do any "inside work" which limits the chances I have to do so.  Outside, I need to make sure the weather works with me.  It has been very cold these past couple of weeks, and when it isn't it is just grey and ugly around here (not something I enjoy shooting).

This clip here is something I HAVE been interested in doing for a while and managed to find a nice day to go out and capture it.  It is very simple, but can say a lot when used in the proper context.  I love shots like this, and I hope you can find a good use for it.

I've come to a realization recently that while I LOVE shooting things I like, I lack a good amount of actual "generic" footage.  Sometime hopefully soon I plan on doing a lot more with actual "stock" type shots to help people who need more generic clips, so stay tuned.  When that happens, I'll probably poll all of the "friends" that I have on the Facebook page to see what exactly the site is missing, so if you haven't followed yet, please do so.  You can find a subscribe button in the column on the right hand side of the site.
