motion backgrounds for Weddings

I've been doing a few weddings and a funeral and want to take my videos up a notch. Is there a good free motion backgrounds for weddings and funerals. Similar to this video:

I like the flying background fade-in at 1:32

I'd be willing to pay for a package but it has to be REALLY good.

Links to video samples produced w/ vegas would be great too!
Thanks!

Check out the Jumpbacks animated backgrounds from Digital Juice.
There's a SD version and an HD version.
They have a showcase where you can see examples of what others have done with their product.
While they may seem expensive, they have sales all the time.
For example, right now you can get any 5 Jumpbacks SD or HD) for $69.95.

BTW, I'm positive that the flying background you like is a tilted version (easy to do in Vegas) of the one that immediately follows it combined with a white flash transition.

Thanks for the link! Definately keep Digital Juice in mind.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I use jumpbacks now and then

But I would rather spend the bucks on Particleillusion and create my own .Its, very quick and with vegas 3d ability you can still get some good effects .
It takes time to hunt for stuff ,sometimes its much quicker to do it yourself and you get what you visualize

Hey, Thanks!
You read my mind, I was just on the search engines last night looking for good 3D software to create my own effects and it looks like Particleillusion may fit the bill.

The Digital Juice stuff looked good but there are a lot of cheezy stuff out there that I didn't like.

Thanks for everyone's input and assistance!

Sorry, I am old fashioned in my methods.
Particle Illusion could generate the wire hearts (or any other shapes).

I use a glass mirror and those metallic confetti you find at party supply shops.
Filming the particles falling in front of the mirror with a black cloth in the reflection
background generates a similar effect.

The couple dancing with a mist filter and slowed down makes another motion
background. The bride's bouquet blurred and slightly desaturated is another.

Sometimes you don't need to spend a lot to dress up your videos!

Each to their own, but to me this background looks like some sort of worm colony dissolving in a chemical solution.

Digital Juice is a great way to go. As was mentioned some of them are cheesy but the overwhelming majority of them are very nice to great. You can find DJ products used on CNN, FoxNews, Monday Night Football, major commercials, etc. They are ubiquitous and there are so many now that you'll be hard pressed to see the same one twice. Plus most people customize them further.

As far as this wedding video you posted. I would highly recommend that you do NOT pattern your work after this video. This does not look good at all. Well I could actually only handle watching about 15 seconds of it and that was all I needed to know.

I have some tips on one of my web sites: http://video777.com/tips.html.
