I guess once we are in we maybe would be able to use our SN names that we use in here some how. But for some reason i think we would have to use our real names which i have no problem with.

So ill get it started if no one has seen mine on my profile.

Hi My name is Derrick and i suffer from waiting on my email from AM. :slight_smile:

#9652

Did the online application 3 days ago. Still waiting for the 8 minutes test (math and language) e-mail (the normal is two days waiting, as said after the end of the online application).
Did you guys received the math and language test within 2 days? Or more? Or still waiting?

Thanks in advance,

#9654

Your welcome,No problem at all! That was just my experience. Not sure about others.

Some questions:

What are the best hours I would need to make available for live events, such as Q&As, for here in California? Or even which day of the week?

Any tips on what I should brush up on ahead of time? Things that you felt would have enhanced or given you a good head start in certain areas? I suppose one thing is to get familiar with Maya, and I guess draw draw draw, such as poses, expressions, anything to help put down your ideas that can communicate well to others.

One curious thing. What kind of challenges are faced after learning to animate mainly around biped figures and then suddenly attempt something like a quadruped, or any kind of animal? Does Animation Mentor cover any unusual creatures or teach skills that can be then adapted on how to study different creatures, animals, for animation?

At the heart of Animation Mentor is always the character animation, which has been said to be equally valuable for 2D, stop motion, whatever career you are looking at. But since they do focus on 3D assets, I assume they teach the correct ways to build up your animation in a 3D environment? Do the mentors often have their own techniques? Maybe show what works best for them, but also the basic techniques everyone should start with before finding what works for you?

Thanks for any replies

Woot, Woot.

Got my enrollment Email. Have been spending the last 5 hours going through all the info.

I have just ordered my Autodesk educational suit!so I am super chuffed! I didn’t realize I got the whole list. I thought I just got Maya. I am going to have some fun times with all this software :D.

I also ordered some of the books from the suggested reading list. So I am going to have a busy XMas.

Anyways my facebook name is M.A.X.C.Hammond

[font=Tahoma]"[/font][font=Tahoma]Thank you for filling out your application! I’d like you to meet Victoria–she’ll be your Admissions Advisor throughout your journey to enrollment. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email her at victoria@animationmentor.com.[/font] [font=Tahoma]You will be receiving a link to a quick 8 minute test from Wonderlic. It tests very basic math and language skills. If you have not received this link within two business days, please email Victoria at victoria@animationmentor.co[/font]m."

4th day and no answer yet, and no link for the test.
Don’t have confidence anymore in AM administration. If they can’t send me a simple link for the test and can’t answer to a simple support question requesting the test[font=Tahoma][/font], I can imagine what can happen in the future, after the program is started and fully payed upon front…

Best of luck for you guys!

best,
-Miguel

So as i said you’ll get the email :slight_smile: We all felt the same as you at one point. Just couldn’t wait for our email
