I am a director and I am currently writing a film that is SCREAMING for Visual Effects.
I recently helped to write this film for the 48hr film project:

@VicDiGital here.
I’m dying to get these videos. Just watching the sample videos online has raised my VFX knowledge exponentially. I can’t imagine what it will be like seeing the whole set.
These videos are exactly what I wish there was more of. Videos for professionals that assume they have a solid grounding in the basics. Let’s just get into the meat of this.
I don’t even have the DVD’s and I’ve been evangelizing about them. I know there’s been at least one sale made from my enthusiasm over this product.
Looking forward to these videos and anything they produce in the future.

Shooting my first feature next year, a very ambitious script on a small budget, in multiple countries. This DVD course looks amazing from the sample videos, and Dave you’ve been raving about it for a while now – winning it for free would definitely be a big boost =)

When I first saw Visual Effects for Directors I immediately added it to my “must have” list. The sample videos replicate the quality of visuals I would love achieve.
While the release sale was going on I filled out my credit card information twice, but each time realizing that I am a broke college student that has no way to afford such a great learning tool.
Help me Filmmaking Central you’re my only hope!!

Been an editor for a long time. To form the perfect triangle as a director and vfx artist is my goal. This set can help make it happen!
Thanks, and great stuff!

I’m an aspiring filmmaker and a VFX boutique director that lives in a country where it’s really hard to get a proper education in VFX, so winning a DVD like this would add so much to our growth and development.

@toe_fur I really wanna get this course! It looks amazing… and I really know it could bring my productions so much further! Thanks!

I own the original HCW and it’s awesome. I don’t/ didn’t have the extra cash on hand to buy the new set during the pre-sale (or now… work’s been slow). I would love to add the set to my library asap, as I’m an editor transitioning into directing and I’m working on a shoot coming up later this summer (shh.. you heard it here first!).

I just started a local new media studio here in San Diego (www.x-sanguinstudios.com) and am following a long time dream of doing media production.
It was my goal to do this when I got out of school, but at the time the odds of making it in the industry and still putting food on the table were pretty slim, so I choose another road. However after 20 years I am getting back into the swing of things, and with the wide spread adoption of on-line video I now see the light at the end of the tunnel.
So they look fantastic and I would hands down love to have a copy.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Todd D. Bailey, He is an amazing film maker with a great passion for filmaking and is looking to take his game to the next level. I am involved with his new project and know we would use this DVD set to its full advantage.

Man, I’ve been drooling over this one for a while. I’m an independent filmmaker, and I love special FX, but I’m on a student’s budget right now… sadness…
Please?

I would love to watch this fantastic series, it looks pretty nuts to say the least. The samples prove to me that this product is worth every penny, and I thank you for holding this giveaway. Whoever ends up getting it WILL enjoy it, and put it to good use
If only I could afford this with my own money I would gladly dish out for the tremendous work they have done. Sadly that’s not the case.
Again, whoever wins, enjoy it.
I know I would enjoy it whether I won it, or saved up for it somehow.

This would be pretty cool. Read about it a while back, always looking to expand my knowledge, trying to learn from every source possible — this seems a great opportunity. Aaaand, the whole student thing limits the budget some.

@glenmontgomery would love to glean some new VFX knowledge from these products. So glad to see them available to the masses who don’t get to be on set everyday learning from the masters.

I am a junior french 2D/3D Compositor about to step into the realm of VFX Supervision this summer : I will shoot a spec commercials involving advanced cg/vfx stuff so I thought these heavy-content-packed dvd could help me on so many levels, and undoubtly save me hours of fixing in Post (and a few headaches) !
I ran through the sample videos and loved the methodology : even though I would love to perform brute-force-testing on tracking marker &co myself, I just can’t afford the time to do so :/
That’s why I though this might be an unvaluable addition to the upcoming hours of preproduction i’m about to dive into !

One word to describe this set??? Wow!
I don’t have a Twitter account because I’m too busy trying to get my video production company up & running. This set of DVD’s would really help with that Herculean effort. I appreciate you letting me vie for the set… I never win anything, but at least I’ll give it a shot. 
[Translate]
I’m always interested in learning about the tricks of the trade and knowing all the jobs of others on set. I feel that will lead me to be the best director I can be.

Hello,I just wanted to tell you how desperately I need your product – a “must have” for studio,I’m an independent VFX artist who has no money to buy stuff like that.I would really appreciate such kind of generosity.I’m almost sure my message’s going to dissapear in the sea of requests.(I really need it,though).Hey,worth giving a shot,right?

I heard about this contest at the last DMA/LA meeting and it sounded like a very educational set of DVDs for a guy like me, who is just getting started in the motion graphics/visual effects business.
I would love to have it because I’m too broke after buying all the software to afford learning how to use it

Wow! I’ve been hoping for a follow up from HCW since getting the first set – this is far more than I hoped for. Can’t wait to check it out, these are exactly what direction I want to start taking my film making!

@quintessential here.
I blog and twitter about film and video events and products.
I am an up-and-coming editor who is trying to expand my knowledge by studying all I can get my hands on.
When I find something that is beneficial, I share that through the internet and through the educational group that I co-founded to learn and teach every aspect of digital filmmaking, The 20 Projects Project.
Our next projects happen to be in visual effects and we are looking for something to help us learn about them.
I feel this would be a great addition to our ever-increasing library that will help educate not only ourselves but also future filmmakers.
We meet weekly (sometimes more often) and we are more than anxious to dive right into these DVDs.
You would be helping a great cause!
Thank you for considering us.

If you can send me these DVDs I’ll be very thankful to you and I’ll never forget your help. PLEASE.

Hi Dave,
I saw the preview for this set a few weeks ago and was blown away! It looks like it will fill many of the gaps in knowledge that I have about working with VFX on set. Times are tough right now so I was resigned to wait but I just read your post at fxphd and thought I’d roll the dice.
Win or lose thanks for the offer!

I’m about to embark on a VFX-heavy sci-fi thriller short. It’d be great to have these in my corner to gain some confidence while shooting — since a lot of the shots require forethought for CG elements later.
