Hello all -
I'm looking for a resource for a POV or dashcam video of a car crash in progress. I've tried the traditional stock outlets, but I need the raw impact, not the accident scene. I can find millions of them on youtube, but I need a clip 10sec max that I can legally use for a small market client (cable, internet use). Any ideas out there? I've found some that go for 3-4k, but that's just out of budget.

Thanks!

My understanding from my still photographer friends is that it's standard protocol to troll flickr for images, then offer the amateur photographer $20 or some paltry sum to use the image in some small-time way. I'd suggest finding one you like on YouTube, e-mailing the author, offering $20 or $50 in return for a signed release and a copy of your show. I can't see you getting turned down. There are whole shows that operate this way.
