Hey folks!

I would like to announce my latest animation training video: Animating Power and Weight. It's a real time demonstration of animating a large character swinging around a very heavy weapon. Basically I complete a first pass of the animation from scratch while breaking down every step of the animation process.

The lecture is made in Maya and the total runtime is over 4 ½ hours at 1280x800 resolution. I split it up into 2 separately purchasable quicktimes with an intro price of $9.99 each.

I really want to keep the prices low to be affordable to any student who wants to learn animation. Some of you have probably heard of my indie feature film: Killer Bean Forever. I spent almost 5 years making it and I'm selling that dvd for only $15. My latest animation training videos took me considerably less time to make, so it's only fair and logical that I price them cheaper than my movie!

Anyways, I learned a great deal from making Killer Bean Forever and I'm ready to provide unique education in the subjects of animation and filmmaking. This latest video is on a specific principle of animation, but I plan to branch out into other areas very soon.

Here is the link to my new training site CGFilmmaker.com:

I hope this website will turn into a great learning resource for aspiring animators and cg filmmakers!

Jeff I really loved your last vids. The dopesheet stuff and the third one going start to finish helped me very much! I liked your speaking voice and the simple models and Hash interface really kept me focused on the lessons.

Thanks for such an easy pricetag, dude. To my fellow beginners/intermediates/wannabes: this is "Gnomon-level" stuff for peanuts!

Are you going to have a forum?

Yeah, not sure why this one isn't getting more comments. As always, well explained, very thorough, and extremely well animated.

Keep em coming Jeff! :thumbsup:

Undoubtedly a bargain price and no doubt, from the films you've worked on your, credentials look stellar but can we see a small quicktime of the final completed animation from this tutorial? ~Thanks

Looks interesting and neat venture, with a very attractive price. I'd be more interested in the CG Filmmaker info. Thanks Jeff.

Thanks Jeff.
I purchased these yesterday, and I am very pleased.
In combination with your first 3, I feel I am creating a strong foundation to animation.
Thanks again.

Your sale ends soon, Im glad I saw them when I did.
Have you finished the 3rd one yet of the weight series?

Rasa.
