Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
Yeah I found the blog post I think your were talking about. iAnimate is a lot newer right? AM seems to have a better rep overall (again could just be because IAnimate is newer. In any case, I can only get student funding for Animation Mentor since here in the UK it's approved as an authorised education centre by the… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
Hey creationtwentytwo, I am that guy. I opened my blog for comments and questions because I wanted to allow people to challenge my arguments publicly, and to avoid any speculation, like the one here, whether I failed at AM etc. I attended AM for two semesters and I passed both of them with As. Here's a link to my progress… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
I´m currently stundent and also can say that it was one of the best decision last year. "teach yourself" is what i´ve done the past years before AM, but i just got to a certain point animationwise. Of course you need to work hard. I think you got mostly replies like mine ^^ I can´t say anything to ianimate, i´m sure it´s a… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
You have nailed it on the head! I recently spoke with my instructor at IA and he said that he once calculated that there is probably only around 300-400 top level animators in the world. He works at DW so he obviously considers feature animation as the only pinnacle of the animation industry, which is open for a debate of… -
Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
Hey all! So I've spoken to a couple of PC members over PM about this and got some great feedback, but just wanted to put it out there to get some more thoughts/opinions. I've just applied to Animation Mentor. Something I've been considering for some time, and I figured I'm at a point in my life where it's possible, and… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
Thanks for the comments guys! Ah really? That's good to hear, being a UK resident I was wondering whether there were any UK 'success stories'. I'm still open to a move to the US but knowing there's stuff in the UK is obviously good too. Yeah there are a lot of animation positions out there, but I guess there's a lot of… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
I think you're going into it with the right attitude and skill set. Coming off of a self taught binge you're more likely to get more out of it than someone who has been spoon fed curriculum and is used to forgetting things the second they turn in a test. I think they focus on totally the right things and at the core they… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
I dated a girl who went through AnimationMentor while going through a brick and mortar college at the same time. From everything that I saw, AnimationMentor is amazing. We lived together, so I was able to watch the lectures from afar, and see how the site was laid out. She definitely came out a better animator as well. I… -
Re: Animation Mentor, anyone done it / currently doing it / going to do it?
Thanks Mark, appreciate your comments. Man I'm so excited, all this great info/encouragement is really inspring. I must admit I've tried searching Google for 'Animation Mentor Sucks/Crap/Useless' and there just doesn't appear to be a single bad review. And this is from people going in with previous work experience, blind… -

The old lead animator on the Rango game I worked on, and he has nothing but amazing things to say.
