actually. the hiring rate for animation mentor is over 90%

I can't watch this showcase enough! It's so inspiring! I couldn't be happier with Animation Mentor's program, I love it!

@mrgiloz This is our proprietary rig that was created for the use of our students here at Animation Mentor. We do not teach rigging or modeling here, instead we focus on the art and craft of animation.

the reason that the textures are complicated is because the models are provided to the students. this school focuses 150% on the actual ART OF ANIMATION. Its a really amazing program... I wish I could take it :(

Congrats guys! Your work is so incredibly inspiring!

Utterly inspiring. I hope I can learn such quality animation techniques one day.

Awesome, Awesome stuff! I love the variety of class work we have up there, everything from 1-6! I hope I can get something showcase worthy someday!

I'd so love to take part in this course, looks absolutely fabulous. I'm not very experienced with Maya though at the moment, so looks like I gotta teach myself before I even consider this.

I'm in animation school, and we use Maya. I haven't seen any schools that invent their own programs, especially when the ones that students will be using in the industry are readily available.

Thanks for sharing this! It's very inspiring!

Brilliant work :) Some of the best student work on the web - me thinks :)

Love it!

always a treat. :D

Just WOW, great job,,,.

Yeah, the song is amazing. I've been trying to find out if the song for the first half is made FOR the reel or if there is an album of that type of music somewhere. If anyone knows, PLEASE let me know. I just love it.

God bless you Vladimir...keep on going....nice work

It's Animation Mentor "Only" Rig mate... they provide you with it if you take the class.

is vfs is right place to join for 3d animation or animation mentor?

I think Carlos Baena does the music. He is one of the founders of AM. Unfortunately, he probably doesn't release it.

@zykafryydi You do have to be 18 to join!

After doing some digging, it turns out you're right, it is Carols Baena. Thanks for the answer. I'm gonna try emailing him later and see if he'll post it on his site. He has other music he created on there.

I was wondering what the first song was and where i can find it

All of our students use Maya.

All of our students do use Maya to animate!

All very good animation , but the advanced editing is soo cool ! :D In 3:59 really good animation ! O_O

@mikasaka Hi! We do not require any knowledge of Maya for our admitted students. We just want to see if you have the passion and drive to become an animator. We offer a Maya Springboard class to admitted students that need a little extra boost in Maya.

WOW. Did the students do the modeling (of the objects besides the rigs), texturing, and lighting in addition to the animation? How many hours a week did students work on these projects? Dang they're good.

Most likely they use either Maya or 3D Studio Max or both. Not suprising that the big companies would use the same software concidering that those ones are the industry standards.

dude an icelander :O the first time i see someone else than me to do animations :O

I've really been considering going to your school, but my mom and I are concerned about it being an online school, that the hiring rate wouldn't be very high. :

1:14- what movie?

Awesome

Same.

@StudioVibe I've read up a lot about animation mentor. I believe the hiring rate is somewhere between 70 and 80%, maybe even higher. I've signed up for classes this coming January. I already took their Maya Springboard course and find the program to be amazing. Read up on it a bit more, do your research. Honestly, in my opinion, the students' demo reels I've seen are superior to many other schools' I've looked at.

great

cool animation online program u rock a ques do u also teach animal motion also during the clases or just character ???

@AnimationMentor ohhh i see oki :) will done btw

@syrus638 I would love to send you a link to it, but every time I try to reply i get "error, try again" as a response.

Does Pann State University offer any good animation classes

this is good

sweet

how can i find thier tutorial..

-Check out the Grad film FAVELADOS from the AIB-

Is it 3ds max?? or maya? pls answer

is it really an online course??? i go to an animation school.. those works are really good.. the textures dont seem to be too complicated.. but still the work is awesome!.. ;)

im from PHILIPPINES as.. that guy who made the 1:09 :P

Hehe, it costs like $3,000 to go there for a year or something. But it IS pretty awesome.

the song name?

unless you know somebody at AnimationMentor who's willing to break the rules (which is VERY highly unlikely) you're probably not getting that rig

OMG 4:11 sound is from Harold & kumar :DDD all are great

The one at 3:21 is really entertaining.

Me too, me too :p

I've heard of those but never used them, so I can't really comment... but you should try Maya. It's pretty much the standard for a lot of the high-end stuff and I know you can stumble across a copy of it floating around the web somewhere. Or try 3D Studio Max, its a lot like maya and many people swear by it. I'm not such a big fan of it myself, though.

its not 1 guy's reel dude

3:31 lol its fat Kirby

this is fucken cool. too bad i cant afford the school

@AnimationMentor I have a quick quesiton. Is Penn State good for a Animation College like you are showing here? Is it a good art school too?

Nah dude, it's an online school of animation.

Hi Joe, We are an online animation school, offering an 18 month program focused on Character Animation. Check out our website for more info! animationmentor(dot)com
