Creative use of Stock Footage

[keylight]

Here's a creative use of Stock footage I recently saw..... Anyone have any other examples they've seen?

I usually find this kind of stuff very sophomoric and uncreative...BUT, I thought this was very well written and the images were perfect.
Loved it!
Also, I may have been out of touch for too long, but what is this "DISSOLVE" stock footage place? Have any of you used it before or does it represent any of your footage...and what do you think of them?
Thanks!

Well, I and my colleague shot some of the clips used in that video (search for Dualstock).
Dissolve is a good agency, reliable and with consistent sales. The share is a bit low, 30% instead of 50% like some others. But I can't complain. Getty is even worse

There's this Darwin Deeze video where he's composited into stock shots- pretty clever and very well done... :beer:

Diegocervo: Thanks for the info. Nice footage.
groveChuck: Extremely creative use of stock footage.
I was asked by Hilton Hotels to cut a :30 TV spot (a couple of them) completely out of stock. That's always a nightmare because the shots, lighting, look never match.

I've seen this before as it was going around the Interwebs as a satire piece. Never knew it was a conglomeration of stock footage shot by other people, but I suppose it retrospect it's obvious.
