Hasta La Motion!

i was just wondering about something i dont have a camera nor do you i have
the money to rent one to shoot material for my reel

so i was thinking about using stock video for my reel my question is how is that looked upon in the industry i mean would recruiters prefer to see something
you shoot yourself or will no one mind i bought the footage i used

my thinking is i am not demonstrating my cinematographic skills but rather my compositing skills so it should not matter

what do you guys think

thanks
