  • Sam

    Might be worthwhile for free video footage: http://www.vidsplay.com

  • East2west

    None of your links offer anything for free – they are are scamming money grabbers – please rewrite this misleading article.

  • East2west

    Why use MOV? Most useless movie format ever. Also your camera shakes and your stock is pretty unusable for anything – Nice idea but a long way from useful.

  • East2west

    nothing free there, and once again useless subject matter

  • East2west

    Money scammer – there is nothing free there or anywhere on thgis or the listed websites…. better research needed or give up messing around on the internet.

  • http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/ Partners In Rhyme

    Hi East2West-
    I’ve cleaned up, deleted, added and modified many of the links links. They definitely weren’t all “money-grabbers” as you put it, especially not our site at Partners In Rhyme.
    Anyway, I think you will find the list much more useful now. Let me know what you think.

    I would have to argue your point that .MOV is the most useless movie format ever since it is one of the most prevalent on the internet.
    I think you forgot to take your anti-grumpy medication this morning.
    Take a deep breath and maybe visit our meditation and relaxation audio site here

  • http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/ Partners In Rhyme

    If you look a little more closely my grumpy East2West you will see that they do have a page of free downloads available here
    http://www.motionelements.com/stock-footage?p=-1
    You can also find it in the main post above, it has always been there.
    I really think you need to chill out a little bit here.

  • http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/ Partners In Rhyme

    Easy there East2West, there are plenty of links that work and actually give lots of quality video content for free. You really need to relax instead of attacking everybody.
