I was taught by several of their mentors and they were all at the top of their game, pinpointing where I needed fixing the most. Definitely worth checking out!Rockey (嘉骏) Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08941245671019899910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249314933943866343.post-66513579307935382752012-10-27T16:47:28.463-07:002012-10-27T16:47:28.463-07:00I'm a student at CG Spectrum and I'm extre...I'm a student at CG Spectrum and I'm extremely happy with the quality of the program and the results. <br />If you don't feel like investing lots of money on a regular program (even though $500 is not bad at all), I think the rent-a-mentor is a great deal, because you can focus on your specific strengths and weaknesses. The instructors are very well versed and have been giving me excellent critiques, so I can say for sure that you'll be getting good and useful crits from them as well.Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249314933943866343.post-18340341361077500652012-10-27T16:01:47.597-07:002012-10-27T16:01:47.597-07:00Wow, 500 is a vey good deal!

(I will definitely pass that info to some friends) I also think that cg spectrum is not exactly cheap, although its cheaper than many school and I have heard that many students get scholarships, but leaving prices aside I can say that I have had a great experience studying there so far, I'm doing the animation program and it has been constant learning day by day. What I really like is that more than classes it feels like true mentorship: you get personal and focused advice, real life situations, personalized training and small classes that make a good environment for critiques and discussions. <br />They also offer things like rent-a- mentor, which I think is new and a great opportunity for many people.

In a shameless promotion I have to say that a few workshops/schools have 12 weeks for a grand or more (even 3x), while I offer 16 weeks for $500 which includes video reviews, multiple critiques, tailored-to-animator exercises or shot suggestions, working on their Maya files, etc. etc. <br />What I'm saying is that I have to charge something for the time that I invest, but I'm really trying to keep the price low, so that you don't only help via knowledge but also financially. A lot of places overcharge in my opinion.
