Designed for those who produce commercials, music videos, industrial
projects and similar broadcast pieces, 'Lifestyles - Mixed Cuts' is a stock
CD which is packed full of video clips of people. The royalty free
collection of video snippets includes the faces of adults and children,
plus a wide variety of situations including a birthday party, a mother and
daughter out for a walk, professionals in a board room and even a transient
walking along train tracks. The uses are endless. Commercials and music
videos are obvious, but for the visual effects professional who feels the
need for a challenge, the shots can be used in compositing and other
effects sequences. The animator could use the footage as reference for
various moods and actions. The footage was originally shot on 35mm with the
purpose of making the content as generic as possible; one can use the same
clip for a health insurance commercial and a music video with a little
imagination. The CD is priced at $499.00 and is a worthwhile addition to
any video/animation professional's library.
