Media: Sound Effects
There are many sound effect sites out there. Many will say
they are free but for the most part they mean once you buy the CD
with all the .wav files or mp3's on them you will have the rights
to use them "for free" or royalty free forever. A little
frustrating but some of these sites might have some specific
sounds that you are looking for.

Media: Video
Video sites are a dime a dozen on the web. Be careful when
looking for royalty free video and stock footage. Stock footage
looks really good but there is usually a significant cost involved
when you start dealing with professional stock footage. If
you are looking for something basic like sky shots or waterfalls,
check out the mediaforministry.com video store first. This area
provides high quality video for looping backgrounds and ambience
without the high cost of stock footage. If you are wanting to create
original video pieces or are looking for something more specific
check out the resources in your own backyard.the congregation. The
modern church is continually integrating technology into their worship
experience, use the resources in your church such as people with
technical know how when it comes to video. Someone with technical
experience, such as shooting video and transferring video into a
digital format, can be a real asset. Video technology today
grows less expensive by the minute, use the experience in your church
to get high quality productions at a minimal cost.
