    Pond5, the world’s leading online marketplace for royalty-free video footage announced earlier this year the launch of the Pond5 Public Domain Project, the first library of free public domain content specifically for media makers. The collection includes 10,000 4K video clips, 65,000 photos, thousands of sound recordings and hundreds of 3D models.

    “For years, all of this amazing public domain content has been locked up and inaccessible to the average media maker,” said Pond5 cofounder and CEO Tom Bennett. “They deserve better. Our Public Domain Project empowers media makers to take advantage of this incredibly rich library that’s rightfully theirs.”
