Active stock video, and similarly, archive footage, library pictures, and file footage is film or video footage that can be used again in other films. Stock footage is beneficial to filmmakers as it saves shooting new material. A single piece of stock footage is called a "stock shot" or a "library shot". stock video Hawaii may have appeared in previous productions but may also be outtakes or footage shot for previous productions and not used. Examples of stock video that might be utilized are moving images of cities and landmarks.

Yoo, chief! I was just wondering, how you balance owning a business, and your family life, while still ripping hard and gettin footage? Your part in Ride the Sky killed it, like the BS 50-50 on that rail in china was so ill, and i just dont understand how you balance your work and family life.
Hi I am a fan of yours and always wanted to be a professional and just that I live in mexico and a little lack of sponsorship. Well I hope some day to skate with you and the team zero would be very cool to me dismissal.
greetings
Hey Chief, will you be having a full part in Strange World? It would be sick if you’ve been hiding up some bangers that could earn you last part over Chris Cole or Tommy Guns and another thing will you ever do a demo in Adelaide Australia again because I saw you there last year at the fallen demo and it was great!
are you a christian? cause i am and all i see is negative influence in the skateboarding world, but it seems like a good way to reach out to kids. can you help out with some tips on my ministry?
Before, in the future, and while you skate right now, have you ever thought about things you had to give up, two or more things you had going for you but whenever you compared the two, the weirdest feeling rose over you? Thats how my life is with skating and soccer, i dont know which one to choose anymore. I love them both.
Have you ever thought:I`m not gonna ride that f***ing board anymore, I would rather die!
what do you say when the fuzz pulls you over and your screwwed what do you say to them?
Did you ever think then when you left toy machine,that you’d have such a successfull carrer with zero and fallen. Also I know you have a tattoo of the Album black aria, I’m a huge Glenn Danzig fan and I wanted to know what you thought of Black aria II.
Hey Jamie,
Why did u ollie over a bike in Ride The Sky?
hey chief in your fallen part you nosegrind that white hubba how do you feel about Heath Kirchart blunting it and rolling away from it i mean he wasnt on his back when he landed. heath kirchart landed bolts unlike u quit skateboarding
What things in your life do you think help you to become a better skateboarder, other than the obvious, practicing.
What is this new dura-slick shape from zero? How does it differ from shallow grave and afterlife?
hey man i have looked up to u for a little after i started skateing 5 years ago. Ur one of the few legends in skateboarding today but lately alot of people have been hateing on u and putting u down like ryan sheckler and a few other pros. I read ur latest interview in skateboarder and the whole time they were talking about people talkin trash and u just took it and threw it all on u like it was all ur fault. How do u manage to keep ur cool all the time and does it ever get to u?
who inspired you to keep on skating as you got better?
hi! Jimie thomas I am fan i like your form of skater I live in Mexico city I want for day you come to skater again to mexico City
greetings
what up jamie how to u ollie so high
hey! i would actually just say that the Ride The Sky was sooo goood! the skating, filming and editing, inspired me alot. And btw, you should make a tour to Norway next year.
Greetings from Norway
Hey Jamie, i’ve noticed that you like doing FS 180 Switch 5-0 Grinds would you say its your signature trick?
Hi JT I was just wondering, how come you didn’t do any fakie tricks in your last nine video part apart from a Half-Cab in Emerica Yellow, a Half-Cab Melon in Thrill of it All, a Half Cab down a 10 stair in Mislead Youth and a Half-Cab on flatground in Reason To Believe. I know you can ride Fakie because i’ve seen other footage of you doing Fakie tricks at demos etc. It would be great to see you do some in Strange World. Then again you could’nt have gotten where you are today as a skater, business owner and father if you had been going backwards.
Jamie Thomas!!!!! Names Tomas, im from ireland, a pretty hard place for skating!! But thers nothing going to stop me achieving my dreams and your just one of those people who keeps the flame going yano!!? And id just like to thank you neways (HERO)!!!! FACT

Good luck reading all these replys and keep writing my religion (filming)> o and keep a look out for my name. ethir in the newspapers of my death or the skate magazines of my life!!!!
hi jaime , i wanna know what drive your to start to slide for endless rails and drop huge gaps like the “leap of faith” how can discribe your motivacion cause for an out-sider looks like madness and how specificly cristianism or god has support you around your carrer???
sorry the writting i,m from chile,come hear there`s a desent skatepark called “parke los reyes” in santiago!

Hey Jaime, I love to skateboard more than anything, and i love my friends more than anything. But everytime I go to skate with em’ they always ***** out on stuff, it gets kind of boring for me. Also, i was thinking about starting my own company when i’m older, is it tuff to manage your own company, does it take away your time with skating? thanks man
-tyler job
Whats up Cheif? I’m a huge fan of yours and I was thinking how do you get time to film your own part when your so busy filming your team half the time? There must be a lot of added pressure in terms of making sure everyone is consistantly gaining footage.
hi Jamie, you are man of success, you have black box, family, friends, a lot of money and you’re doing what you want to do: skateboarding, and… you have a lot of money
So the question is, when ZERO & Fallen team will came to Poland? How long you are skating and what is your worst injure ^^
Greetings for you and Chris Cole, you guys are gods…!!!!!
*Biggest fan!!!! Wojtas

-How long are you tried to do first handrail ? Are you scary ? Little Tips ?
Hey Jamie
I come from a small town were there is barly any skating. There is no place to possibly get noticed at all. I would like to someday become sponsored. How would I do so in such a small town.
Have you ever google’d yourself?
hellou JT…………well what can i say…i guess theres no words for me to describe the motivation that you gave me since i started skatin……and i dont know…maybe this is not of my concern……but anyway im goin to ask……what the hell happened to you? where´s jamie thomas? wheres the one who used to take down the biggest handrails and hugest gaps? damn man……why tha hell have slowed down your skatin…..? why lately theres onlywallrides hippi jumps and old stuff like that…??I know that as the leader of blackbox you have a lot of responsalities……..and also being the head of a family……..but i just cant take the idea of your slowin……. and you know why? …because youre not an oldman……..cause i know there in deepest side of your body…theres still such a big fearless power to take your skateboard and go out to get back in touch with that concrete jungle………i know that probably you wont even read this……….but if you do it and you get it……..ill notice the difference in no time…….one of your sickest fans….juanito banana
Hi!
Jamie, you used to be vegan (at least http://www.famousveggie.com keep saying that), also straight egde, and your promodels were all-synthetic. What happened? You don’t care about animal rights any more, or suede shoes sells better? It’s sad that after few good years when there was many all-synthetic shoes, all Pros that used to have such promodels, now have only leather or maybe one two colorways.
Thanks fot answering.
why didn’t you shave your head bald on your last trick in ride the sky, i thought you would
