Making commercials and movies can be expensive and time consuming. One way many directors and producers are saving time and money is by using HD Footage. This can save time filming and also save money on acting. There is also so much that can be done with stock footage these days. You almost cannot tell that what you are viewing is even stock video.
If you have ever watched commercials on TV, then you have seen stock video being used. It can even be hard to tell which is an HD stock video clip because it is seamlessly incorporated with the rest of the footage in the commercial. One of the main reasons to use stock video is to save money. All you do is pay for the right to use it in the commercial or film and then you are all set to use it.
HD stock footage is used in a lot of movies. New technology has made the process easier and more believable to watch. Many directors and producers area creating really cool movies using new footage and HD stock video. Many movies are using this technology today.
There is usually a price that needs to be paid to use stock footage. Many sites online, however, do not charge any money to use their stock videos. Just make sure that they company that you are using is reliable and owns the rights to these videos.
Using HD stock videos can also cut down on production time and the cost of management. Reusing footage makes the process easier and much quicker. You can even take stock video and improve it so it will work well in your video.
Much of the HD stock video that is available is very general. It may be of animals in the wild, landmarks, certain cities or historical events. The greatest example of this is the movie Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks. The director made us believe that Forrest Gump was really at those historical events just by using stock video and a little bit of technology. It looked amazing.
Some companies actually own the rights to HD Stock Video Footage and they use their business to rent out stock video to filmmakers or web designers. They normally do not charge royalty fees. If they do, you may want to reconsider doing business with that company. Many companies will ask you to put their company logo somewhere on the screen while you are using their footage (especially the news). Many news shows will use their own footage or another news company's footage.
