How to get the Best Free Images in the Internet
Hi All,
This is my first post. Firstly I would like to thank people from AE Freemart for giving me opportunity to post on this magnificent blog.
Well we all know how important it is to have a good asset when we approach our illustration, animation, 3d, well just about anything within Digital Design.
So I decided to give you all few links which I am sure you would find useful when looking for that particular image or a texture for your design.
Most of the websites will give you freedom to use the texture for commercial purposes, however always read how can you use the images you want to download.

Photoshop Filter! Cartoon Bubble 1.0 from Digital Anarchy
Just got the Digital Anarchy newsletter and this one popped out at me. The Cartoon Bubble plug-in is designed to create basic speech bubbles to go along with ToonIt Photo or any time you need to make your photos talk! It creates simple ellipse and rectangular speech bubbles that can be any size. You can adjust colors, fonts, outline thickness, and position. It’s a great way to make your ToonIt images start speaking.
You don’t need to be an owner of ToonIt, anyone can download it free and use it. It works on Windows and Mac and any recent version of Photoshop.
Also, check out the interview with Jim Tierney, head anarchist at Digital Anarchy, over at Colorburned.com.

Are you going to NAB this year? Do you need a free pass to the show floor?
Yes Apple isn’t going to be there and neither is RED or Quantel … But Avid is, Adobe is, all of the other camera manufacturers are going to be there. Plus there’s a lot of other great small software developers that will be on the show floor so there’s going to be a lot to see. Plus the Final Cut Pro SuperMeet will be happening as well. You might can find a good deal on a flight if you try hard or fly Southwest and you can definitely find a good deal on a hotel. Get a pass to the show floor and get to Vegas. I looks like I’ll be there too and I am very excited. And I will not eat at any buffets this year.
To get your free pass that includes access to the exhibit floor and the opening keynote (a $150 value) go to http://nabshow.com/passport and enter this code: TP01.
If you’re NAB alumni, I’ve also received the code DM01 for a free Alumni Exhibits passport.
I wrote an article last year or the year before called The NAB Survival Guide. I’ll dig it up and repost it. I have a busy week planned once again, working between the Red Giant, Digieffects and Boris booths and even doing some book signings for my new book with Jeremy Hanke, Greenscreen Made Easy.
So, I ask again:
Free Clip from Pond5
Pond5, who is one of our friends on the links at the very top of the page at Toolfarm.com, has just launched their free clip of the week. Sign up for a free account at Pond5 and download it!
You can also upload your own high quality video clips to Pond5 if you’d like to sell them as stock footage. I’m sure they have some sort of approval process in place, but you’ll have to read the fine print if you’re interested in participating.
Also, Pond5 is letting Toolfarm use some of their clips for plug-in samples on the site, so keep your eyes peeled (always wondered where that cliche came from!) I’m going to be doing an upcoming episode of Red Giant TV and I’ll be using a clip or two from Pond5 in the tutorial. Pretty cool, eh!
