View Full Version : John Riggs where are you?
bradenbickle 06-02-2004, 04:21 PM John,
I ordered a training video from you a couple of weeks ago but have not received it. I've tried to contact you but have had no luck getting a response.
My last resort was to post something here. My appologies to the rest of you out there for waisting your time here looking for some meaningful knowledge.
Also, you home page offers up the Beginning Messiah video for $49.95, but pay pal charged me like $70 bucks or something. Did the price change? Are there hidden fees.
Anyone else out there use his videos? What about Joe's videos?
If I don't get a response in the next day I'm jockeying for a refund and getting Joe's tutorials.

I believe, the last time I heard, he was in England helping out with the Cat Woman. He's on the road quite a bit. I have John Rigg's videos - they're useful but by today's standards the resolution is quite low - unless you like watching Tutorials from a TV. If you're new to rigging - then some of the concepts can be hard to grasp the first time around. I had to watch it a few times and even then .... well, John is supposedly working on some new tutorials.
Joe Cosman's tutorials are the ones that really helped me get up and running with messiah. They're more applicable to pmG's current offerings, the video resolution is excellent and are easy to follow. Highly recommended. :)

Thanks a lot Mark.
While you are at it, will you ask him to switch me over to the advanced video or heck, ask him to write Joe a check so I can get one of his videos.
By the way, I was in London for a few days last year and got to come by your shop to check things out. I was treated very well and really enjoyed it. You guys were in the middle of doing that dragon/lounge singer animation. That's also where I first heard of Messiah. You guys rock.

I agree, Sil3, John's Advanced DVD is very good - lot's of good stuff in there. I enjoyed it more than the Basic DVD. The Expressions one, with Ron Griswold, is pretty cool too. :)

Hi Braden, I sent your video out right after I recieved your order.. and it should only take a couple days to get there. So if you havnt recieved it then it must have got lost in the mail. That has only happenned once before, but it does happen.
You want me to replace it with the advanced tape, I will do that no problem. I will get it put together and sent to you today.
As for trying to contact me.. how were you doing this? I havn't recieved any emails from you at all.. I am not in any way acusing you of not sending them or anything like that.. just wondering what email address you were sending them to because I never recieved any. Its probably my mail prgram throwing away emails it shouldnt.. I think its time to create all new email address ;)
I will send out your DVD with a bonus in the box today.. it will be in your hands in a couple days.
Sorry for the mix up.. I really have no idea what happenned.
-John

That's great, but weird.
I hated to put stuff in a user group, but I was desperate.
There was a link "if I remember correctly" on your site or on the conf email about the order. Sounds like it was a bogus address or something.
I can't remember, off hand, what the address was because I didn't save a copy of the email I sent.
Appologies for any harm this may have caused your business.
I'll let you know when I get the stuff.
Thanks
p.s.
you might send me an email just so I can confirm the shipping address is accurate.

I just sent you an email to confirm address. Shoot it back and your package will be on its way.
And its no problem at all. Sorry for the Mix up.
