Last week Andrew Kramer showed us how to put Particular aside and shoot the real thing. This week you can download 15 free HD (720p) clips of what he shot. Included is a tutorial with some ideas on what to do with your new footage. Click here to download the clips and watch the tutorial!
This week’s Free Clip from Artbeats is a full HD shot trucking through the woods. And Pond5 is offering a free full HD clip of heavy rain falling on a pavement. What might one do with either of clips I don’t know. But you could download them for free and save them for when you have a use… or for a rainy day. You’ll have to sign in to get the clips at both sites. (At Pond5 it’s not really clear how it works. You need to add the clip to your cart and when you check out the amount due will be $0.) Also, while you’re at the Pond5 site you might want to grab a set of 25 free sound effects as well. Some are practical, some are easily motion-graphics-ish.
This week’s Artbeats freebie is a 20 second abstract background HD clip. Remember, backgrounds don’t have to settle for just being backgrounds. They could be masked inside of text or used as a compositing layer with the right blending mode. And it’s always a good idea to have a collection of stock elements for times when time is short. Get the clip here.
