I would love to get feedback about this list. Please let me know if you think I have left out any good stock vendors. And tell me your favorite stock house.
As for my favorite, for general searches I like the BBC the best. They have the widest range of downloadable footage and the best quality. Unfortunately they are the most expensive and don't bend much on clip minimums.
As for customer service and price breaks, I prefer going straight to the production companies themselves.
