Thanks for that review Thomllama - I also have them all (without regret) and think you are pretty much spot on with your comments. My own feedback is based upon a desire for future improvement, and turning good tutorials into a great tutorials. (I use Jim Coe's Art-Ahead-Start, and Chipp Walters as benchmark examples of great structured tutorial writers for example). The demonstrator clearly was experienced with the program, but I concur that there was a 'winging-it' type of feel - as one might have at a booth demonstration, rather than a systematic scripted training seminar with pre-made examples to reconstruct ("Here's one I made earlier..." :p ) As a couple of people have picked up above - this came across in the over-use of the mouse to emote rather than only indicate functionality, which was very distracting at times, and a trainer #101 no-no as with laser pointers :) The videos appeared to have been recorded in long single takes, and as a result, at times the trainer occasioanlly stuttered and mumbled, got mixed up with what he was saying, made mistakes and undid them on-screen, which took a bit of polish off for me - don't get me wrong though - I learned loads, but it made me cringe a little when all they had to do was a second take to get it cleanly right perhaps? Talking of which - if the chapters were shorter and started off with objectives / summaries - perhaps like title credits you can make in Windows Media Maker, then accessing specific sections would also help to be able to return to them after(as well as making re-takes less painful ;) ) A DVD option might have been nice (or both), but the lack of an Auto-Run on a data disc and having to locate files manually rather than have a Chapter launcher (even a basic HTML one) is a few years behind now.. I'm a big believer in getting to play with examples after a class. Following structured tutorial steps is one thing (or not here), but being able to play around with a final scene or settings would have been a good addition too. So as not to give the wrong impression here - these are very good tutorial DVDs (some invaluable tips), but could be made great with the addition of a little more polish through better preparation, presentation and supporting examples. Or at least that's my tuppenyworth :) Kind regards
