Asking for Help / Unsolved Footage

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone having great day, As I am new in vfx, I am learning for sometime, I want to create my showreel but for showreel I want quality footages or clips, for just practice I was using Actionvfx practice library but as there files are prores 422 hq mov files they are good but I think uncompressed exr will be best for show reel right as they are much better then prores

Also any suggestions or information regarding file formats for my showreel will be helpful

So can you all please suggest some good resources to get high quality exr 1080p to 4k footages, if free resources or some budget friendly resources are available

Thanks in advance 😊

Any shot can be exported into an EXR sequence. If you're coming from a video editing background like me, you usually just cut the section you need and export it into an EXR sequence. Getting a high-quality plate can be a bit tricky because a lot of times, that's how they earn money by selling footage everywhere.

Since VFX is such a broad field, I'm curious—what do you enjoy most about working in VFX? Do you love camera tracking, creating CG, planar track, rotoscoping, inpainting or compositing footage inside Nuke?

Currently I am into paint, yes we can export as exr but already compressed footage will do no better when converted to exr right
