I'm not sure we should have any of the current External Links here. By their nature they are all commercial links and therefore could be classed as Wikipedia:spam. The only saving grace of the ABC, BBC and CNN sites is that they at least have presumably not been added by the site owners. -- Solipsist 18:51, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I certainly hope the criteria for what is a valuable link is not dependent on who added the site but rather, does the site illuminate the subject. Stock Footage is a commercial venture almost by definition and sites that would bring greater understanding of the subject would almost necessarily be commercial. As a shooter of stock imagery for 22 years and specifically Stock Footage for the past 6 years, I feel a visit is worth a thousand words. The idea that it might also be worth a thousand dollars should not detract from it's value as a vehicle for illuminating the subject of Stock Footage. Warm Regards, Mark Adams.
Hello, I would like to contact an administrator of Stock Footage web page, please whitelist russianfootage.com
We provide Russian footage to producers Worldwide and our stock was in use for Seconds from Disaster for Discovery Channel, by Borat feature film.. etc.. Unfortunately we were inaccurate submitting our links to relevant pages and thus our site is black listed ... I was in contact with Dirk on a notice bard discussion to remove from black list and he recommended to address the issue to stock footage page administrator Please white list our web site for this page, our services – researching footage from state run Russian archives as well as licensing our own archive ...
Thanks for U help Oxana
I'm just wondering if the ST:DS9 reference as the only example is really propper by Wiki standards. That entire episode was composed of the characters interacting with the original series story line, so much footage from the original was used. I don't know if that qualifies as "stock footage". The first season of JAG, for example, staged action scenes using clips from "Clear and Present Danger" and "Top Gun", cutting them in as part of the JAG story. That seems more along the proper use of the term.
I don't think file footage used in TV news is comparable to stock footage used in video production. One goal of using stock footage is to save money by using clips that would be too expensive or impossible for the show's budget (like helicopter shots of a city, foreign destinations, or historical events). Stock footage is usually chosen or altered to blend into a production's photographic style. File footage is used to fill up time when TV news stories don't have enough original video to cover the voice over and/or illustrate generic concepts (like smoking, obesity, prescription drugs, etc.) Little care is taken in shot composition, color balance or cinematic style. And I think that's what sets them apart. One is chosen for specific visual composition, while the other is simply time filler. -- 24.249.108.133 00:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Nothing belongs in Wikipedia that is unverified. Sometimes people justify unsourced lists of wikilinked items with the claim "each one has a verifiable source in the wikilinked article". Maybe. But there is no way in hell that a redlinked, unsourced item in a list passes WP:V. This is Wikipedia 101. Bring an independent source, or leave it out. Jytdog ( talk) 01:13, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
