Hi everyone! Josh here from Envato. Many of you might know me from discussions we've had on the PhotoDune board. I’m also quite involved with VideoHive and wanted to pop in for a quick introduction. VideoHive is an Envato Marketplace where you can buy and sell royalty-free footage and motion graphics as well as After Effects Project files.

With traffic in the millions, and loads of opportunity for new and quality items, many of our contributors are making 6 figures annually finding the freedom they desire to create and produce what they love and are passionate about.

If you are looking for new and exciting challenges, be sure to check out our Envato’s Most Wanted contests where we offer great prizes and cash rewards for items in high demand. In fact, we are currently offering a $5,000 bounty for “Trailers” created for After Effects, Apple Motion, or Cinema 4D!

We are really excited to have a home here on MicrostockGroup and invite all motion graphics and stock footage junkies to check us out as we are growing fast and always looking for great new contributors!

Feel free to hit me up here, or via my Envato profile if you have any questions, I'm happy to help

Hi everyone, not sure if you've heard, but Collis has just announced some exciting news concerning a new product from Envato. It's called Microlancer and it will be a new way for freelancers to connect with buyers who are interested in getting small-scale creative jobs done simply, transparently, safely and quickly. We have built a platform which allows buyers to easily explore a world of different services they can buy, such as logo customization, photo retouching and many more.

Here is a link to the whole post plus a video from Collis

Hello there, I am putting together a collection of fashion, model, and beauty related photos to be displayed on the PhotoDune homepage for the month of august, and though I have hand selected some myself, I thought it might be fun to hit you all up and see if you have any related items in your portfolio that you think would fit along these lines http://enva.to/NozaZW and would like me to add them to this collection.  Should be some good exposure

If you do and are interested, send me the link to the item via my profille on photodune - http://photodune.net/user/JoshuaSprague and I will include it in the collection.

Thanks! - Josh
