Stock Resources

Making your own multimodal materials can be challenging — for some projects, you may need to use outside materials.  Stock footage of people walking in a park, a photo of the skyline of a city you've never visited, background music to set a tone: you might not have the resources to produce these yourself.

I gathered the following lists from around the internet, but I do not endorse any specific products linked from this page.  If we're talking about primary sources, you'll note that a number of the sites listed here are commercial companies that market production, editing, or their own libraries.  Just because a source is commercial does not mean it's unreliable — for many companies, providing accurate and useful information helps them get better rankings on Google, which in turn makes it more likely they'll be referenced from outside websites.  Like this one.
