That's pretty cool. I have the ASK as well. But dishing out over 5 hundred dollars for basically the same information that is practically verbatim in the $30.00 book is a little much.
That's not
exactly what this is.

"First of all, this is NOT simply Richard Williams' masterclass transferred to DVD and then released as is. Apart from this representing about 50 years of experience condensed into 16 lessons, it also is several years of full time work with a team of people.
What's on there is humongous: it's the entire book, plus a 4 day masterclass, plus a whole lot more! So most of the book is animated (and beautifully so I must say!) and quite some extras because the masterclass is actually a lot subtler than the book (you get to see how not to do things as well)."
"I really would like to comment on this one, because it seems to me another misconception about this set. See, the aim of the DVD set is very, very different than the one of the book in one respect: it goes way beyond it.
It's aimed at people who will want to make money with animation. Not at people wanting to have something nice to show their friends while sipping tea or wanting something interesting to read before going to bed. And that's exactly why we put all the work in it that we have.
The book is a nice object in itself and indeed a pleasure to read, even for people with the flimsiest of interest in the field. The DVD, however, is a bona fide course. And a pretty hard core one. It will potentially help you make money. And much more than what the DVDs cost."
