How many of you guys use stock film footage. I ran across a stock film footage site and became curious about the diversity and convenience that stock footage could bring to an already strapped amateur film budget. That 1200 pound grizzly bear will be much easier to do now that I have found the stock footage. Now al I have to do is find a 6'4" 170lb hippie eating granola to film on a green screen lol...
Seriously though, how many have used or considered using stock film footage and its adversities and positives?

Well, you can create a hippie any time you want. The grizzly to a toughie to get though!
I would use stock footage if I want a gigantic explosion to occur but no way I could get ahold of a gallon of black powder. Use stock footage for actions/objects you cannot create. But believe me, If you don't shave for a week and throw on some tie die... whoala! A hippie!![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

yeah i guess if i could find some stock footage that would work for me i would use it but i havent had the luck. i would also worry about seeing it in 5 other peoples projects. i did use some gory pictures to put in this little 2 min thing i was working on. but they were used for 0nly a few seconds in random spots of the film. so i dont know if that counts
