This is great, thanks!

Wandering if its the same for others?
No JardB, I've received in a few seconds… The report is really good and looks very nice.

I've been stuck on the same kind of look with another pdf they released a while ago. So thanks for the link.
Thanks for the link!
Their CAPTCHA system, quite frankly, sucks.
Very interesting report. Thank you for the link.
thx for the link gundam.
I got this one fine but was never able to get the pdf for the animation tips… if you're using yahoo or google or one of those, that might be the problem…
wow thanks
Very interesting and informative, thank you
Downloaded… now reading it.
Thanks.
One of the most informative articles/reports I've ever read. Very helpful in my current progression towards a freelancing career.
Its funny how the future is bright for animation, coming from animation Mentor. ey ?
Its also funny that most games now days are done using motion capture. Which is abit …different than working with key framed animation. Nothing against mo-cap but the guys at Animatin Mentor dont teach you that cos by heart they dont like that. (At the end of Pixar movies it says that no motion capture was used in the film to point out where they stand in that debate)
Also I presume they asked all the animators who got a job ?
They jump quickly over the fact that if you cant travel the world for jobs, then you are likely to end up in a place were animaiton has to be done so fast and cheap that it ends up as an example by Animation Mentor teachers as how not to do it. (Forgetting the fact that most shitty animation is shitty cos of inhumane deadlines, not because the animator is crap) But of course coming from Pixar you know that.
Im not against Animation Mentor in anyway, but I just would like to give people in here another input than the typical Succes story that we all want to hear. There is another side to the animation industry which are never told, because the people who dont succed finds something else to do and never look back.
½ of my animation class is (20 people) not doing animation at all 5 years after we finished school. The rest is doing something related to animation, a few actually do what Animation Mentor is teaching.
I dont buy the survey that seems to be asking all the succesful animators if they are happy and satisfied, I think the survey is on the edge of being brainwashing propaganda.
If you have something else to fall back on if you fail as an animator then go for it !
