The Getty stock video used by producers to fill your screen with topical imagery is impossibly weird on its own. Seeing anything without sound is spooky and off-putting. But I’m laughing like I’m high as a kite at this compilation of stock videos that has been dubbed with sound. I can’t be the only one who thinks this is hilarious.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen stock footage put to creative use. After watching this clip, I totally understand why stock videographers don’t put the sound in. It’s hard enough to stage mindless models trying to look like they’re doing something. Imagine if you had to worry about the sound as well. The best one is definitely “HEY SEAL!” Amazing. [Buzzfeed]
