animator's survival kit: animated. worth the price?
I just saw this, and was incredibly excited: http://www.theanimatorssurvivalkit.com/ I mean I read the book, and it was great- but seeing all the examples in motion, and richard williams giving the whole thing as a lecture.. brilliant.. until I saw the price. 730 quid, for 16 dvds. 45 or so pounds per dvd. now.. looking at… -
Re: animator's survival kit: animated. worth the price?
looks very interesting. read and liked the book as well. as for the price... just depends on how serious you are about animating i suppose. as helpful as it may be, it surely won't replace attending animation mentor or similar courses careerwise - i work with a bunch of people from AM and the kind of contacts and exposure… -
Re: animator's survival kit: animated. worth the price?
I used the book a bunch at work when I was animating...it's a great reference tool...I would drop the cash on it if I had the money. -
Re: animator's survival kit: animated. worth the price?
Agreed, I'd probably do the same thing. But as a huge brick, its hard to justify. I could see this as a nice juicy prize in a lot of animation competitions. -

Loving the weight shifting on the chromeball guy. Just learned something for free right there! -
Re: animator's survival kit: animated. worth the price?
Never thought of it this way. Much cheaper and much better than most animation courses out there! Richard William's as your own private tutor! Considering how weak the pound is now, it is a much more reasonable price. Small studios should be buying this up now. If you think about it, Gnomon charge at about 45 per dvd… -
Re: animator's survival kit: animated. worth the price?
That website went around work a couple of weeks ago and a bunch of us were going to pool some money together to buy them. Turned out that work bought it for us so we didn't have to.
