Hi Lisa,

So far I've spent almost 3 years in school for animation, as well I've taught myself quite a bit. At one point I thought that the videos were quite costly. But they're no where near the prices I have to pay for tuition. Ideally the main reason I rely on this site, is because of the friendly atompshere, quick advice (sometimes my teachers can't even answer), and tutorial updates. I like the video approach because I learn best watching someone do it, then reading a tutorial. Also I base my reasons to get videos based on style, I like the material certain people are designing and I find it neat to see how they'd approach modelling or whatever it is. Your totally entitled to your opinion, and no one will hate you for that. But compared to other sites, not only do the creators of these videos take the time to make them, but they also take the time to respond to questions and give feedback out of their busy schedules, and I think thats genuine.

Ciao
