  1. I haven't watched it, but from what I gather they would use remote control drones for target practice in WW2...but am not exactly sure. These are screen shots from the seller of the film. The goddamn 'pay by the second' stock footage people would have loved to get this one. They are always pestering me after I beat them out of a film on eBay. They write me or have the eBay seller write me to offer 'free scans' if I will sign away rights to them to sell it...by the second. **(obscenity removed)** them! I hate stock footage people. Sure, we need them to see some of history. But you can only see it...if you pay by the second. Stock footage people make films unaffordable for the average Jane, Joe or zir to buy. I always enjoy telling them NO, I am not interested. If they were not in it for the $, then sure they can have a film to scan for free. Or if I had a decent scanner, I'd give them a 4K scan for free. Money and profit have nothing to do with my work. But I check them out thoroughly to make sure they are not in it for the $$. The only time money enters the picture with me is when I ask myself if I have enough money to do a project or acquire something. In any case, I still would never give a film to someone to scan without a big deposit. Or they would have to prepay for me getting a high-grade timed 4K scan from a commercial scanner. I've dealt with tons of people over the years. People are getting worse when it comes to honesty and ethics, not better. Now, it is not like I'm some sort of purist that thinks money and profit is evil. Money is stored energy. You need money to operate. But chasing profit can destroy the spirit. Like is short and I'm old. Consequently, I only like to work on projects I want to. I don't want to be working on crappy projects other people want me to work on just for $$. I did plenty of that work when I was younger. Thoreau sums it up... "Trade curses everything it handles; and though you trade in messages from heaven, the whole curse of trade attaches to the business." This film also insirped me to figure out a way to distinguish important films in the archive. I printed up a bunch of 5 star red labels and can see them easily now. I used to use a piece of red artists tape, but I like the red stars better. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D.

  2. Back in the day there was this doctor on eBay that would butcher porn films and sell them 'by the scene.' He found out he could get more for a reel if he cut it up than if he sold it whole. Well, this was John Holmes films, so there was that. I don't know what kind of doctor he was, but he was the surgeon of films, so to speak. Here is Pond5. They sell you short film clips by the second if you need stock footage. I didn't explore them much and know nothing about them. Just enough to take some screenshots. Prices depend on res. Everything is sold in short clips; say 6 to 12 seconds more or less. What impressed me was their upfront way to sell film clips. Very easy to see lots of material and the prices. Click on images to enlarge. I was curious what they had for stag films. This was what a quick search came up with. I love the old stag (sex) films. They have it all...history, fashions, people, sex...plus there is usually no copyright crap to deal with. Only drawback is they are usually very low q. They have been duped to death. The couple of stag film clips they had, had no sex...but I didn't look at them all. Some people make titles and sell them...by the second. These are 6 seconds each. These are examples of higher res prices. I don't know where things are with the legal with Pond5. Stock photo companies used to want you to sign your life away with model releases to sell photos. There was a photographer that would take photos of people on the street. Then he would try to get model releases from them on the spot to sell the photos to stock footage companies. Jesus, what a terrible way to make money. I'd give up photography if I had to do that. When I shot this...I just didn't shoot this. I shot this same scene many times, with tons of people walking up to the bear over a few minutes period. I can't imagine asking all those people for model releases. Photo: D.D.Teoli Jr. Well, whether you are buying or selling, maybe Pond5 will be helpful for some of you. Looks like they deal in all sorts of things for the filmmaker. <><><><> Daniel D.

  3. I've been looking at cine' films on eBay for 11 years. Over that time, I've looked at tens of thousands of reels. Some of them have excellent listing information. Other listings have terrible information. I call the blind eBay listings 'pig in a poke' films. A lady from an archive wrote me a while back about some 16mm films the archive wanted to dispose of. I told her to check out eBay and the most important thing when selling on eBay...is to show the film. I didn't have these examples to show her, so I made an effort to save a few of them that I ran across. If you are looking to realize top dollar from eBay film sales, here are some examples of good and poor quality eBay cine' film listings. Good Examples: Poor Examples: <><><><> Daniel D.

  4. About Bridgeman Images Check em out if you need something for a project. Much cheaper than Getty Images, but not as extensive a collection. You can also put things up for use.
  5. Warehouse 9 Productions, Ltd. (W9) has its stock footage store up on POND5. 16mm and super ProRes files. If you need film stock footage for your projects, check it out! There's city, landscapes, airplanes, fire, and more. https://www.pond5.com/artist/ware9pro Thanks!
  6. This is basically an editing exercise, but it was fun to take (mostly) stock and try to make a story, albeit maybe not overwhelmingly original. Still, really fun...
  7. Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion of how I can request a custom stock footage shot. Basically, I am looking for a 4k night shot which racks focus between a section of barbed/razor wire fence and the moon for use in my feature film. Here's a link to a HD version of the ideal shot, which I would have used but I need a higher resolution version: https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/37024533/moon-behind-barbed-wire-it-crawling-spider.html Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks so much.
