Author: Today, courtesy of Dave Kaminski at Web Video University (www.webvideouniversity.com) via his “Web Video Tip of the Week”, I became aware of a new source of stock video footage.
It’s called Pond5 Stock Footage
From their “About” page:
Pond5.com is the world’s first open marketplace for stock video footage, and it’s a better way for video professionals to buy or sell stock footage for use in productions. Video, film and television producers anywhere in the world can find and buy instantly downloadable, broadcast quality royalty-free footage for use in their productions. Video/film creators and content owners around the world can offer their owned work for licensing and use by others. And, like any vital marketplace, people are able to connect, collaborate and share creative inspiration.
Pond5’s approach is simple. We believe a video marketplace must provide solid value to buyers and sellers. This means great pricing for buyers, solid financial return for sellers, a useful connection with the production community, and fast, easy systems that embody practical understanding of today’s video production workflow.
Pond5’s focus on value is supported by its strong marketplace dynamics. Our content contributors receive an industry-leading 50% payout for licensed content, and they are allowed to set their own prices. This has created true marketplace pricing not found anywhere else, and Pond5 is able to offer the most affordable broadcast quality HD and SD footage in the market today.
Pond5.com’s public beta went live in early 2006. We have experienced steady growth of buyers and sellers, of volume and range of content in all categories, and of license sales since the start. 100’s of content owners/contributors from over 30 countries sell to 1000’s of buyers from over 50 countries in all levels of professional and semi-pro film and video production.
Additionally, they have an affiliate referall program whereby you can earn a commission by referring traffic to their site. For 12 months after a new user signs up, you’ll receive 5% of all their content sales and purchases.

Flip Video Camera & Use Your System Daily
|
Following is the transcript of the video you probably just watched: Hi, this is Sheila with CoVideo. And this is your 60-second tip of the week. I am filming to you today with the Flip Camera. It’s a great little camera just about this big and it can fit right into your pocket. It can take movies and it can take stills. So, whenever you come up with a fabulous background, you know, like the one that I have right here, stop and say what’s on your mind, you know, encourage those contacts of yours, go home, pop it into your computer, and send it out through your CoVideo system. This is Sheila with CoVideo … encouraging you to use your system daily.
