Hello Folks,

Has anyone purchased the Anime Studio video course at Animationtrainer.com? I am trying to decide if I should invest in it as a gift to someone.

How is the training? Is it pretty basic or advanced?

If you are familiar with the training, I would appreciate any input. I need to know before I can recommend it to someone.

Thanks!

No one? It must not be that popular.

I've looked at it a couple of times and I'm bothered by his claims that he's not a salesman as part of his high pressure (if low key) pitch.

The first time I went there I decided to take a chance anyway come payday but when I clicked out of the screen it wouldn't let me close it. That made me decide not to take a chance.

The course may be great but his pitch is a huckster's pitch and that makes me wonder about the product.

Thanks Barry.
I am having my doubts too. It makes me wonder why a lot of people here never purchased it. I thought I was going to get a lot of replies on this here.

Exactly the same reason as Barryem.
I was 50/50 so intended to have a think and that final pop-up, on closing the window made the decision for me.

Hey digitalartguru,

Go to his youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/cartoonlearning Those videos are examples of the tutorials he will teach you.

I personally would not pay to use his course, but I could see how it might advantage someone very new to the software.

Anyway, take a look.

Thanks for the link. I won't be buying.

Wow, I thought I was the only one put off by the uninvited pop up!

The VTC video training is old training, but it can be helpful for beginners.

These are some of the best tutorials I found as a beginner. I have no idea who this guy is or if he hangs out here on the forum or anything about him really, but the tuts are thorough. I will say there is one missing in the section about doing a project, but otherwise excellent and clear.

Thanks Winknotes
I took a look at your link and there seems to be no end of anime Studio tutorials. That is great.
Actually I did subscribe to the animationtrainer program and I did pick up a few good points and tips. The quality of the material is pretty good, mostly in HD. However as someone stated, it is mostly for complete beginners and I was hoping to get more in depth info.
I am hoping for more in depth info in the bonus module, which is only activated after a certain time period in order to prevent people running of with the authors work. I have no trouble with that.
I found working with animationtrainer altogether quite helpful since it appears that the admin is quite faithful to answer my questions soon and correct. I have send him some of my work which he promptly corrected and gave advice too. This to me is a real help as I have found it very advantageous to have someone I could personnaly bring my Anime troubles too.
Greetings Dust

Looks like Mark Bremmer is finishing his vtc series in asp7.
