Customer Reviews
Great!
After listening to the fxguide podcast for the past year, I was excited to see a video podcast was available. I was not disappointed. Great stuff guys. It's nice to see the people you are talking to and to see what you are talking about with the screenshots and videos. Really good pick of host with Angie too. She's a lot of fun to listen to.
The next FX evolution!
i listen to FXguide and FXphd every week and have been looking forward to the next generation of their great work. i really enjoyed the show and look forward to more of the top rated FX pros sharing all their most recent work (or classic work-for that matter)-through the reporting of these devoted guys. The set looks great, as does the on air talent. i enjoyed and appreciated the After Effects tutorial as well. An awesome addition to their already quality work!
Nothing like it, anywhere.
In the constantly changing world of visual effects creation there is no other source, I have seen, that keeps me up to date on emerging technologies, business dealings and all other factors that affect my business. Jeff, John and Mike are reporting truths that drive what we do. Before fxguide, there was only cinefex, now we have truly worldwide coverage of which the impact cannot yet be measured. Thank you Mike, John and Jeff, you are the ambassadors of the moving pixel!
