Public Domain Movies
You may not plan on becoming a famous movie director, but you still have a use
for public domain movies, broadcasts, commercials, and sound bites. These can be
used on websites, or to create CD’s or DVD’s that you can sell.
By far, Buyout Footage at http://www.buyoutfootage.com/pages/pd.html is one of
the hottest places to obtain movies. There is also great film that you can use
at http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger and also at The Library of Congress
at http://www.loc.gov/rr/mopic/.
At the Live Music Archive at Archive.org, which is located at
http://www.archive.org/details/etree you can find movies of live music shows.
You can also find free footage at the UCLA Film and Television Archive which is
located at http://cinema.library.ucla.edu/.
While these are excellent sources for finding public domain movies, it is
important to realize that you must purchase the work from most of these sources,
with the exception of the public domain works found at Archive.org. However, the
fee may be well worth it depending on what you intend to do with the film that
you want.
There are various ways that you can use old film, broadcasts, and commercials
for financial gain. You may want to use the entire work, or just use parts of it
for your product. You could even make a collection of old commercials for an
informative marketing course!
Again, you need to be aware of the format that the movie you want is delivered
in, and make sure that you have the appropriate software or equipment to
manipulate the movie to turn it into the product that you want it to be, if
editing it is what you have in mind, or to transfer it to the medium that you
want it to be on if you just want to change the delivery format. For instance,
you may want to change something that is on video tape to DVD.
This information on public domain movies has been published for the benefit of
all ‘classics’ seekers.
