Pond5 public domain project – ‘World’s greatest’ collection of copyright-free content now available

By technical editor Matt Allard:

Having to purchase stock footage, images, sound clips and other forms of media can be very costly. Your only other option is to find copyright-free content to use for your projects, but that can often be a very difficult task. You can waste a lot of time digging through remote archives and clumsy websites, or spend valuable money to access media which supposedly exists for free in the public domain.

Pond5 has come up with a great solution. Called the Public Domain Project, it gives anyone the ability to access an ever-expanding collection of copyright-free multimedia content that’s accessible for free search, free download and free use.

Pond5’s aim is to assemble the world’s greatest collection of free public domain content tailored specifically for editors, designers, musicians, and other media makers. Pond5 have searched government and public archives around the globe, pulling together some of the best examples of copyright-free footage, photography, sound recordings, 3D models and more.
