The stock footage site Artbeats is giving away one free clip (in either NTSC, PAL, or HD) a day (forever?).  All you have to do is register for the site and then choose your resolution and download.  Registering is free and basically painless.  I just found out literally minutes ago, so I’m not sure about the variety of subject or any other specifics.  The clip today is an aerial pan over the Badlands.  Who knows when I’ll use it, but I’ll find a way!  All I know is that it’s a great idea that I’m going to take advantage of!

You can also request to have the clip shipped to you, on dvd I would guess, but you have to pay for the shipping.

They also say the clips are exactly the same as the ones they sell, or otherwise noted if they have been shorted for download time or whathaveyou.

I’m hesitant to link the “about” page because it seems like the url might change day by day depending on what clip is free, but here it is just in case it stays the same: http://www.artbeats.com/free_clips/SMA128/about
