I have tried to google for this stuff, but haven’t found anything.
So essentially I’m looking for pro-quality sites that sell elements for compositing: Explosions, smoke, etc, filmed against greenscreen. In HD quality.
Are there such places?

So, in the movies when you see all these matrix style nerds in a dark room with 7 screens in front of them while they code to take over the world there’s always some kind of techno theme or something along those lines playing in the background.
But in the real world, while were not programming the new death star satnav, we still adhere to this sterotype a little…
So what’s you musical posion?
Mainly for me it’s rock and roll/blues, but I do love the old electro stuff from time to time, the likes of Daft Punk and Air helping me along.
