I notice that quite a lot of producers on Iwantclips make mesmerize/goon/mind-fuck content.
I myself got myself a new green screen to make some, and know how to make the necessary effects. Anyways, I researched popular topics and the best selling videos, and I noticed that a lot of different girls will very often use the same stock footage in their hypno videos, to the extent that I will extremely frequently recognize them in their trailers like "Ah yes, here's that one shiny tunnel made up of metallic rings with a colored glow effect again" or "here's that LED? wall effect with a purple wave over it", or "here's that same melting clock again". Let's not forget the matrix-binary-code... thing. Sometimes recolored, or not.
Anyways, maybe they're just tropes of the genre
What really stands out to me is the fact that a surprisingly large amount of people are using THE SAME matrix-tunnel / clock / whatever, when there are hundreds of options for presets or stock footage on Shutterstock/Adobe. It's really quite unusual and really makes me quite curious whether they have some sort of asset sharing going on / are with the same producer / use the same stock footage company / software effect preset ? I just thought I'd throw it out there, because I'm genuinely curious lol
I'm not talking about re-using stock footage you have already bought mind you. It's just funny to me that so many people would have bought the exact same stuff.
