Backgrounds - Where to get good ones?

[3roy]

We currently run SongShowPlus for our video projection system. We have also subscribed to Shift Worship for a year (SSP has some relationship with that company). However, I have lost interest in many of the Shift Worship backgrounds. Do you know of a great place to get good worship backgrounds?

1) I am looking for the "abstract" variety - not photos.

2) I like darker colors and motion, but not too busy.

Thanks...

For abstract motion, I really like MotionLoops.com. Sign up for their newsletter and get a freebie weekly.

There are several here in the Media eXchange Center. Get full access to the MXC by becoming a Pro Member for only
$40/year. I'm not sure what the official count of media here is, but it's well over 10,000 pieces, but mostly stills and many photographs.

Also look around for a thread on Free Animated Video Backgrounds. It points to a couple of sources.

Here's a few to look at. Some (like Muddy River and Ministry FX) have free stuff up all the time. Others offer freebies now and then.

There are a lot of sites out there . But even the ones that charge a annual fee or per item fee will have a FREEBIE section.

Several years ago I created a website for some of my customers to use that I had found thru the years.

Its old but most of the links are still active.

Muddy River is one of my favorites; I make a donation once a year

Vimeo is a wealth of great videos, look up Everett Bowes too while you're there (you just need to get the K-Lite codec pack to play the MOV files on ur PC), Centerline New Media is a great abstract source (with a monthly freebie)... a coupla options...
