Does anyone know a source for creative commons (or otherwise free stock footage) background video/animation? I'm looking for something that is really simple to put behind an on screen quote or image. This is often used on talk shows and newscasts.

(Something kind of like these: http://www.animationsforvideo.com/html/hotcakes_vol2.htm)

I don't know of any specific site that specializes in CC-licensed animation. It's a really good idea though. Never thought of this before. Maybe its a site that needs to get made.

The only thing I can think of are vj loops. I'm not sure how subtle they would be or what's out there http://www.archive.org/details/vj_loops

And there are a few stock loops that come with programs like After Effects and Motion. Also if you are in FCP in the Text Tool Dropdown (not sure of the actual name, the button with "T" in the viewer) under Render there are a few effects like Clouds or Caustics that can be manipulated with color and speed to produce decent backdrops.

Nothing specific out there but your best chances are always with archive.org.
