The Gnomon Workshop DVD?!?!

[hastyle29]

hey i was thinking about purchasing a gnomon dvd to help with my environment/ perrspective skill. I was wondering if anyone here ever bought one of there dvd? and found it to be very useful. and which one is good. i was thinking about getting the scott robertson volume 1 : baisc perspective. or maybe the feng dvd.

[Groover McNab]

I would highly recommend getting the Ryan Church dvds.

[hastyle29]

oh yea? have u seen the dvd?

[Groover McNab]

Yes. I own 2 of them. And I recommended them cuz I have seen them :P

I'd give you the exact names but I don't remember the exact titles.

[hastyle29]

which one do u have?

[teyekanik]

I have the feng perspective DVD.. it's pretty good but I dont really dig fengs style.. the artwork he makes isn't that progressive and only uses one point perspective... I'd recommend getting some books for 1 2 3 point perspective instead. It can teach you some stuff but I don't know if its worth the 60$

[hastyle29]

yea that why i think im gonna go with scott robertson's perspective dvd , feng was a student of robertson.

[teyekanik]

oh I didn't know that.. I think I will check that one out.. I'm actually saving for the bundle but that might not be for everyone.. I want to know it all!

[hastyle29]

bundle ? u can buy a bundle pack?

[teyekanik]

yeah.. check out thier site.. you can buy the entire set of 2D dvds or 3D dvds.. you end up saving alot but it's also about 2,000$ for each bundle. . If your a student then they offer a 30% academic discount.. that make it about 1400$ i think.. well worth it.. I am looking for a friend to split the cost.. . .

Analog Bundle (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/ana_ble.html)

[hastyle29]

oh really, 30 percent discount, is that only if u buy the bundle or does that 30 percent apply if you buy just 1 or 2 dvd.

Just want to say that analog dvds are worth every penny. If you are looking to go in debt for a grand or two this is a great way to start, plus you can't feel bad about it since its for your eduMAcation.

[teyekanik]

the 30% discount is for everything but you have to supply proof of enrollment.. like a current Id or transcript.. you can just email it to them with your order but I'm not sure about the entire process, just search aroung thier site.. all the info is there :)

[hastyle29]

alright aweseom,

hey kgb , which dvds do u have from them?

[kgb]

I recently purchased complete analog bundle.

Hi everyone,

I want to ask you -those ones who have the Scott's DVD- if you can go to the details of the content of the DVDs. I ask you so, because in the gnomon web site they put only the titles, but they say nothing about the lengh of the videos, the kind of exercises and things like that. I mean, Do you have to do excercises? What king of materials do you need to do them? etc.
Thanks in advance

[hastyle29]

kgb,so how are the dvds?? yea its not really detaield on teh content of the dvd so thats why im askingaround.

[liam.c]

im realy wondering too about the length and such

[kgb]

I haven't watched all of them obviously, I'm letting each one sink so I can't comment on all of them. Length is 2 hours each. If you go to the website and to each dvd title you can read the topics covered and that is pretty much what is on the dvd. Content of the dvds is excellent, high quality. I personally highly recommend it. Its worth it. But foundations are really necessary. If you don't have basic drawing skills, color theory or anatomy, you'll struggle, my opinion. Anyway they are highly educational and is the best substitute if you can't attend their actual classes.
