Need video clips
May 9, 2012 9:57 AM
I need to find a resource (or resources) where I can download old black and white clips.
I have an idea for a project that needs about 2 to 3 minutes of old b and w videos depicting scenes that are very wholesome (leave it to beaver style, families, fun, uplifting, etc) and troubling things (police brutality, atomic bomb explosions, negative stuff).
Is there somewhere I can go sift thru clips and download this type of stuff? Public domain type stuff? Thanks peeps.

Archive.org hosts videos, including the Prelinger Archives and the Ephemeral Films collection links to the educational videos not in the PA.

If your project is a commercial one, Prelinger's collection is repped by Getty. If you need a license, that's where you go.

There's some police stuff too -- look at Operation Correction and Integration Report. Oh, and The Great Swindle.

Not all of these are black and white, but here's some atomic testing.
