I saw a thread a few months ago about this very question with some suggestions offered.
As someone who is literally a pauper-video maker, the one that stuck out to me the most is...
Unlimited Stock Media. All HD, currently the prices being USD $49 for a 1 day/24-hour unlimited download or $149 for a one-month unlimited. Sure, they don't have the breadth of Getty or other high-end stock companies and much of it is shot in the Los Angeles area -- but there is a very decent amount of variety.
I've had some direct communication with one of the owners and am planning to go for the first package. Something I have to plan much like a TV-show marathon -- a lot of coffee and hundreds of mouse-clicks :D
But I'm ready for it when I decide to go for it : I've already bookmarked all the desired clips by folder (i.e. People, Aerials, Work, Night Shots, etc.).
