[Jay Rodriguez]

This kinda stuff usually repulses me a s a director but the QT demos they have are quite good.

Have you checked the DVDs out?

there's a review in the articles section...

Would anybody want to sell me theirs after they're done with it? Four seventy nine is a bit hefty.

I would never even consider buying something like this, and I have read quite good reviews from others.

[Drew Ott]

The price is just ridiculous, but it does look quite nice.

[Daniel Skubal]

How is the price ridiculous? If you're serious about making a career out of this stuff, it's invaluable. Have you watched the demos?

Plus DVXusers get a 150$ discount.

As dj200423 say, it's really not that bad. One set that will teach you most of what you need to know? Not a bad deal! Investing 500 bucks into your career is a minimal expense :) We also have to take into account the costs for the DVDs, replication, printing etc which can be rather expensive.

I just got my first video camera. I don't even have a tripod or any lights yet. The first thing I did after buying a camera was to sign up for the boot camp in hopes of figuring out how the camera works.

The second thing I did was to purchase this set of DVD's (using the DVXuser discount, of course!) in hopes of figuring out how to actually shoot a scene. Let me tell you that I consider the money well spent!

There are six DVDs and so far I haven't made it past disk 1. lol! I've watched it about 6 or 7 times now (I've darn near got it memorized) but I really do get something out of it each time and I want it to sink in so that I don't really have to think about it that much. I really want the concepts to become somewhat ingrained so that I can just sort of pull them up on automatic pilot.

I'm sure you will see that this series of videos gets rave reviews and rightly so. I mean even if you've never shot a scene before in lyour life such as myself you'll enjoy learning why movie scenes are shot the way they are. It truly is amazing how much a shot angle whether close to the eye line or farther away, whether a closeup or futher back,... just the picture... and nothing more can affect your emotional involvemnt in the scene. It really is amazing.

In fact, we have good friends, another couple, and the husband loves these shows where they show how things are done, like how things are make in a factory, etc.. One night when visiting them we took Disk 1 to show him a few minutes of it. We thought he might enjoy watching it and had intended to leave it with him so that he could watch it later. Actually he and his wife totally got into it so much that evening that we all ended up viewing the entire Disk 1 that very night. Neither of our friends have a camera or will ever shot a video, but both of them still found the information fascinating.

Good God I'm long winded. I'm just trying to say that you should make it a goal to get this video set. Save your money up for a while if you need to. You will learn and I am sure you will become a more confident videographer/filmmaker for having watched this series. And you will end up watching these videos again and again... they are that much of a learning tool.

Of course all of this is just my humble opinion, but I'm probably not alone.
