VideoBlocks regularly adds new clips to their database and the ones presented are very well-categorized/tagged which makes searching pretty easy.

There are videos/sounds on almost anything from explosions to nature, locations/places to animations or door sounds to dog barking ones that will help adding a twist to the footage being worked on.

Also there are other categories like looping videos, slow motion, time-lapse or nature and animals with each having their own sub-categories.
