Anyone have any leads on a good stock footage place for sharks? I need some shots of sharks, preferably aggressive. Ultimately will match with super 16 for a low budget feature.

Update: actually will match with 5D footage in this scene. The rest of the film is S16, so that's the baseline.

You might not like this answer, but a friend of mine worked on a spot a couple years ago and sought the same thing. In the end, they chose to use CG sharks. It worked fine.

If you like, I can hook you up with the guys who did the animation and compositing, if you don't find a decent source.

Thanks Jeff. That might end up being the way to go actually. It's a small scene. But that's down the road. I have some stock to start cutting with. I'll let the editors and director play with it and see how they feel.

I'll definitely hit you up for those animation guys should that be the route we end up taking.

I edited a collection of short films for the Smithsonian's Ocean Hall and we used a ton of UW stock - check Nat Geo, www.fitzproductions.com, Ocean Footage, Howard Hall, Feodor Pitcairn Productions and NHK.
