Consider all the myriad of images you have available to you on Youtube. Instructional videos, advertisements, viral videos, clips from TV shows and movies, broadcast news clips, political rallies, musical performances, lectures, presentations, skits, home movies. Youtube is a goldmine for ideas.
Also, look to the Internet Archive for historical film and video footage. The Internet Archive is another goldmine. Avoid trying to rip from a DVD (unless it's old). The studios have got lots of locks these days that make it nearly impossible to access the content.
