Background Plates?

I have a green screen wall that I have been having fun with.

I have keyed in some backgrounds that I have shot, but I would like to start playing around with some more diverse background plates.

Things like: a beach scene, a tv studio, the interior of a spaceship, running in front of bulls, etc.

Are there any web sites that offer background plates?
 
Serious Magic (Now Adobe) Ultra would be perfect for you. It comes with quite a few virtual sets and you can obtain extra "libraries" - these aren't just flat images (though you can use those too) a virtual set allows camera movement through the set.

Ultra also is the best and easiest "keyer" I have ever seen even if your background isn't great.

Now the bad news - Adobe have taken Ultra and bundled it with Creative Suite up to CS3 but it seems to have gone AWOL in CS4 and is DEEPLY missed. So I guess find an old copy from somewhere if you can.

Otherwise - just go to (google) "Microsoft clipart" and there are thousands of pictures - some of which will make good backgrounds.
