Free stock photography

Morguefile has a decent selection of free stock photography available for download. The images I checked out are just as good as the stuff you'd pay for.
From their "About" page:

1. Are the images really free?
Yes, all images are really free and they can be used in your commercial projects without permission or credit from the photographer. Although selling prints, selling the images directly or claiming the photo is yours is prohibited.
Note: You are responsible for the content of the photos you use. It is very much the same as if you had taken the photograph yourself, you must still obtain proper permission for property or people depicted in the photos if any.

Copyright issues

DV Info Net has a good 5-part article on copyright law by Douglas Spotted Eagle.

As a reasonably successful artist, I’m constantly walking a tightrope because as an artist I wish protection for my musical works. As a videographer/editor I often want to have access to musical works that are not affordable, accessible, or sometimes even possible. I do know that it’s the single biggest issue to face the video and audio world in the coming years. I usually express the meaning of copyright with the phrase “My Voice, My Choice” in that the author, composer, creator of the copyrighted work is expressing their artistic voice in the process, and should always have the choice as to where that work is displayed or heard.

Lighting article

Still photography sites are a great resource for lighting tips. Here's a portrait lighting article from Popular Photography that shows how to create different looks with just one light.

Before signing on with MGM in 1930, Hurrell worked out of a humble studio near Los Angeles and owned very little lighting gear. Most of the Novarro portraits are lit by a single light plus reflector. By changing relative positions of subject, background, and light, and by altering the light’s character with diffusers and reflectors, Hurrell transformed his subject into a glamorous icon. You could do it for your subjects, too.

The full article is a downloadable PDF file.

Video hosting on Google?

I haven't bothered to read all the fine print, but this sounds interesting:

We're accepting digital video files of any length and size. Simply sign up for an account and upload your videos using our Video Uploader (please be sure you own the rights to the works you upload), and, pending our approval process and the launch of this new service, we'll include your video in Google Video, where users will be able to search, preview, purchase and play it.

Welcome

I'm new to blogging and web design, so this will be a work-in-progress. Hopefully it will soon morph into a useful resource for video producers, shooters and editors.
