So you would say it's worth the price? ($959.50)

For a professional animator (including e.g. video game graphics/physics programmers), absolutely. For someone who makes a career doing user interface works, it’s a bit harder to say.

At some point there was a large portion of it on YouTube but I think it’s been (quite rightly) taken down as copyright violation.

Anyway, the parts I watched were really really good.

Obviously it depends on what you do for a living.

If you are an animation pro, $1000 could be even cheap if you earn way more money thanks to it.
