Projection Media

[Jezza]

Does anyone have the names of companies or website links where one can preview and purchase specific media loops for use in theatrical projection? We are doing a rendition of Les Mis and in lue of spending x-thousand on a media server, we opted to use Power Point. However, we need various moving images including muzzle fires, shimmering night sky, shooting star, rushing river, etc. I've already got all of the static images locked down.

Any suggestions would be great.

I don't know mutch a about stock media, but I have found a ton of stuff on the internet archive and its all open/free media.
Good luck and If you are really in a jam I would contact a local prodcution company,(there is always a ton of small scale/night operations) they would be more framilar with the stock image stuff and could get you in the right direction
