Hi,

I'm performing some simulations of "multimedia"-oriented applications,
including one with full-motion video-in-a-window.  What I'm looking for
is any short (1-20 seconds) clips of motion video suitable for display
on a bitmap workstation.  The ideal file would be 5-10 seconds of video
at 15-30 frames/second of someone speaking, in a close-up of the face only,
say 256x256 in 256 colors, but anything that will flow smoothly on the
screen is highly desirable.  Graphics are just as useful as digitized video.

Please don't send me such things (you can figure how big they'd be!), just
let me know if/where anything like this is available.  Any image format is
fine, I can convert.  Any content is fine, please don't "disqualify" something
because it's boring, too long, too short, too coarse, etc.  The only important
attribute is that it must be more than a single still image or slideshow of
still images.

I don't follow these newsgroups, so please send mail.  I will send a summary
of the responses, if requested.

Thanks in advance!
