[Master vs. Mentor????]

thanks Robcat,... im still concidering this as an option for the Aug. submission., ive already upgraded and prepped my set-up @ home to accomidate their requirements. basically i wasnt looking for a guarantee for a job, i just wanted the skillset firstly because i just love animation, i always have. i feel fortunate that the progression of technology at this time has allowed us who create, to get the education needed to create. i have the mindset to do my own films, or the like and wanted the knowledge to be able to do the best work i can possibly do, even if it is just for my own amusement and gratification. after saying that, do you have any adventures during your time there that you'd like to share? did it meet your expectations from when you first started classes? what could someone like me expect who's interested in attending? thanks.

 

... and im still planning on gettting the other training discs, as well.

[Quickstart 2,....]

hey,.... while im out here could someone tell me whats added/new/different in the Quickstart 2 cd-rom that isnt in the first one? learned all my geeky modelling coolness from having the first one and im wanting to see if there's such a big difference that i would need to get the new one. thanks.

[Master vs. Mentor????]

hello all. ok,...ive been playing with Animations Master for a while now, and i have nothing but great things to not only say about the program itself, but the vast library of training materials the come though the community. i got a couple of the older tapes from hash and the first older Quickstart Disc from Anzovin,... lately i was exposed to this Animation Mentor website, and i was curious. but then i went back to the Anzovin website after i purchased the "Facial Modelling" cd-rom, to find they now offer the "Animate!!!" training series, which in my research looks to be the same thing they offer on the "mentor" website. now,... my question is, would a person wanting to learn character animation benefit more from the training cd-roms, or enrolling into the online "mentor" program? to me it looks like the offer pretty much the same principles, except the latter is more expensive and you get a diploma, but even they said that this isnt needed to get a job in the industry, but moreso a strong demo reel.

 

for me, i learned a lot from the tapes and the cd-roms i have thus far, and after im done getting the "facial" bundle, i wanted to get "Animate" bundle, as i really didnt see a reason as to why i shouldnt. but after learning of the online courses, would there be any kind of advantage to going that route over me just getting the cd-roms? thanks for your time.
