I was recently directed to a website containing free full HD 1920×1080 stock footage. Intrigued by this I decided to check it out and sure enough there it was. Still a small site at the minute it already contains some snazzy clips. I’ve already had a bit of a play with some of the smoke clips in After Effects and they work fine, though I haven’t decided what to do with them yet.

All the video files are in .wmv which isn’t usually what you would edit with but keeps the file size down.  The site links to free converters should you not own one and require them in another format.

It still needs more clips to be as bit as one of the major stock footage providers but is a very good source for free. Defiantly a site I’d recommend checking out!

First tutorial in a long time, but in full 1080p and shiny CS5!

Hey guys,

Recently I got to thinking how cool it would be if I had a film club with a projector and a screen and surround sound and start my own little cinema! Then I started looking at what I need and it became apparent I didn’t really have the capital to do this but I still wanted to start a film club. Thats where the Internet comes in! I’ve decided to start an online Film Club. The idea is simple, we have a group of people who all follow the club, decide on a film to watch then during the month we all watch the movie and come together to talk about it and post thoughts about the movie.

I’ve started a FaceBook page for every one to join and spread the word. The more people there are the more fun the club will be!

Any ideas what film to start with?

I was recently looking for some stock footage to put behind my friend who was playing guitar infront of a green screen for a musical appeal. This lead me to a very nice website with completely free stock footage! It’s high quality SD and also some HD videos, royalty free and  split into categories so it’s easy to find what you want.

It’s not the biggest collection of stock footage out there, in fact it’s kinda small,  but it’s the best free site I’ve found so far. They might not have exactly what you are looking for but if they do then it’s perfectly set up to deliver.

The site is owned and operated by Footage Firm who sell royalty free stock footage.

And check out the video I made with the use of some free stock footage here.

So thanks to Footage Firm for the free footage!
