[Azazel]

Wow, talk about timing, I literally just got my tax refund.

Now if I could just get my brother off the 360 so he won't complain that I'm causing lag when I spend the next three hours downloading.

[courtyard]

Don't forget Carl Dobsky Perspective – Volumes One & Two! :)

Downloading three at the moment (including both perspective vids--I've been wanting those for ages but couldn't swing it)--thank you!!!

[Victor B]

Huzzah!

[Dromer]

Aaah shoot, yesterday i just bought 4 more vids. Too bad there wasnt a banner then. Now i probably cant resist myself and buy some more.

[Ian Barker]

Sweet! DL'ing Richard Doble right now, will probably get the perspective vids later. :)

[Darkside]

I LOVE you guys :D thanks for providing such a great quantity of information, downloading

[Carbon Productions]

Love you guys!

Thank you, away to buy some now :yayca:


Edit - had some trouble with one of James Kei's download. I clicked both the nude and clothed videos into the cart but only the nude one came up saying the quantity was two. Thought it was just a glitch or something but when I went to download them only the nude video was available. Any help with this please?

[Grafguy]

damn, couldnt u come up earlier with this?
just bought 3 vids last week,... well, now is a nice chance to buy some more :D

[LostFayth]

Hallelujah! Finally I'm able to afford some video's :D

[Burtzum]

Don't forget Carl Dobsky Perspective – Volumes One & Two! :)


Yeah I was disappointed to not see those on the list but it looks like they are indeed discounted as well. Sweet. I'll probably drop like $100 after I get back from work today.

[GHill]

Thanks for the sale, guys! Here, have some money.

[vardoburrito]

Is it US or Australian dollars? :P

Thank you. I'll just download what I can though. Shitty capped plan. :Buahaha.

[Helltroll]

I should get Mom to buy some of these for me...she has been using me to draw some advertisements, with nothing said about proper compensation.

[vardoburrito]

wait, wait,wait, is it for all of them? or $9.99 each
Please clarify, woooo??? o.0

[Portus]

$9.99 each

[velderia]

Awesome. I think I'm going to buy Whit Brachna's Enviroment Design part 1 and Coro's Storyboarding part 1. I think it might help me with sequential art.

[MassiveDVD]

yes, we recently added Carl's perspective downloads to the mix.... looks like it's 41 titles for $9.99.

:)

Just finished watching these--they're incredible. Can't recommend them highly enough to people sitting on the fence. With this sale, it's essentially paying $5/hour for unparalleled instruction that fills in all the gaps from *many* hours spent reading up on the subject. Can't thank you guys enough.

[Noah Bradley]

Awesome.

Just picked up both parts of Nox's vid and both of Whit's speedpaint vids.

[Daniel Andrews]

Shiiiit. I have almost all of these at regular price already.
Oh well, I guess nobody can say I dont support :P

Excellent Deal for any one without any of these downloads.

[Luggage]

So, wait... is that 41 vids for 9,99$ each, or all of them for just 10 bucks? The latter would be completely insane! But here's hoping ;)

I haven't ever shopped around for CA.org videos before, are there any in that list that would especially benefit a fledgeling amateur character artist that still has so much to learn?

[Drawingbreath]

I take it these are $9.99 each, because the wording implies that all 39 titles are bundled together for $9.99

That would be tremendous value, but doesn't seem to be the case.

Could someone please clarify this, because clicking buy on these titles only creates a Paypal shopping list with the normal price on it. If these are a special price, where's the special price buy button?


Edit: Heh! What he said at the same time as me! ^

[courtyard]

clicking buy on these titles only creates a Paypal shopping list with the normal price on it

Hi...that question was answered up above. It's $9.99 each, which is a significant discount from the normal price.

[hala]

Luggage and drawing breath--the question was answered above already-- 9.99 each. :)

[IanE]

So if it's $9.99 each, then it most definitely is not "39 titles for $9.99"

Additionally, July 20th is not a Sunday... so when does the sale really end?

Still a great deal, but extremely misleading.

[DStraX]

:O !

[Luggage]

Thanks Liffey, I'll check those out :)

[Jason Manley]

sorry bout that...i was wondering why i was getting emails since it says AT as in an @ sign on the banner. I fixed the wording.

Oh we are craaaaaaaaaaaaazy around here for having a sale...but we are NOT insane.

:P

[Ian Barker]

Got the Richard Doble and Carl Dobsky downloads, bringing my total MB vids to 17... Haven't watched all of them yet, still so much to learn!

[Nrx]

holy shit greg manchess is a ninja!! ... am i allowed to type that?

[Jaco521]

Unbelievable stuff folks, thanks for putting all this great info out there - just rounded out the collection - what a weekend!

[Luke25]

silly question but i want to purchase a few of these but where do i go to get them?

I looked on the massive black site but all i can see are the ones for about $15.

Will the discount be taken off at the till or am i looking in the wrong place?

Thanks Luke

The discount will be shown when you add them to your cart. Just click on the buy link and check the price! I was also confused at first, but I guess it's a lot of work to change all that html just for 2 days ;)

[Jazz]

Yay!! I bought six vids. @_@ I can't wait to have a look at them!

[Helltroll]

Big thanks to Mom and her credit card, she just bought me:
Coro
-Alla Prima Portraits
-Cinematic Storyboarding 1 and 2
Jason Chan
-Thunderdome Illustration
Whit Brachna
-Enviro Speedpainting 1 and 2
-Snow Mountain 1 and 2
Greg Manchess
-Above the Timberline 1 and 2
Gary Kelley
-Pastels 1 and 2

[2kre8]

I purchased 4 videos early on july 19, but my paypal payment is still waiting to clear, is that mean i lost out on 40.00 dollars or can i still download the videos once the payment clears.

[Kan Muftić]

Just trying to buy couple of vids but once I get to the shopping cart, no discount is visible?!
Plz help.
Thanks,
Khan

[Dromer]

Damn, I wish I waited one day to buy Jason Chans character design 2 and Painter sketch and Whit Brachnas Mountain. Could've bought one(or two) more for the same price. These tutorials are too addictive.

[GDonaldson]

ConceptArt.org seems to have "forgotten" to put "EACH" on the end of the advertising.

"39 videos @ 9.99" still implies its all 39 for 9.99

"if you put 39 videos at 9.99 each" then people would not be fooled or confused by this dubious marketing malarky.

even the news page at http://media.massiveblack.com/

has "WEEKEND SALE!!!
July 18th, 2009

39 titles for $9.99!!"

that still implies it is all 39 vides for 9.99

please put "each" on the end of your advertising! otherwise you are deliberately misleading people.

Anyway nice for you guys to have a sale, all the best for the plans with the website.

The sale is over...

[Colleen Doran]

I am on a fairly slow connection, but went ahead and bought 14 downloads, intending to download one or two a day.

I was able to download 2, and the third was interrupted by a storm. This morning when I went online to try downloading more vids - which are not supposed to expire for 13 days - the site told me that I have already downloaded ALL of them and that my time has expired.

Er, I have downloaded almost none of them, and should have another 12 days left to do so. I hope someone can help. I dropped a note to Massive Black last night and followed up this morning as well.

The two vids I have been able to view have been very useful. I look forward to being able to view the others.

[Pochifux]

:dur:Well, my question was: why does the DVD show up in my cart at normal price? But I just now realized that midnite on sunday was technically the 20th, so darn...:nohope:

sorry if I posted this query in too many threads, I just wanted to make sure I got the answer before midnite, but poop....

although the other thread mentions the deadline was "bumped", it didn't say to when, or even clarify what "bumped" specifically means, so here's hoping...?

The sale was bumped, but it only applies to downloads and not DVDs.

[Jason Manley]

i dont agree....is pretty clear plus there is this entire thread full of info.


regardless...i think is fairly common sense that it is not for the entire library. also there is no misleading when the purchase happens. it is real clear what people are getting.


so that said...i think you are being just a bit melodramatic.

and THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT SUPPORT. We are now about fifteen percent of the way toward our goals for the new tech!!!! Progress!!!

Much to do. Much much to do!!!! Can't do it without you all. So thank you thank you!!!

[Colleen Doran]

THANK YOU!

Very friendly customer service. Thanks for re-approving my downloads. I will give it another go.

[GDonaldson]

fair enough, at least I expressed my opinion - I thought it was all 39 for 9.99 and was confused when I couldnt find a "buy all" button on the news article and only then did I realise that it must be the individual items which are 9.99 hence my annoyance at the marketing not saying "each" on it. So even if no one else was confused or annoyed, I felt like I had been fooled and wanted to express that :P

good to hear youve raised some funds :)

[courtyard]

I'd say it was definitely unintentional and not a malicious marketing angle...I think MB assumed people would know they weren't selling their vids for 26¢ each.

[Choob]

Bugger.

My dog died early Saturday and Sunday was my birthday, so I completely missed this deal.

There weren't any of my particular *must get*s, but still, great deal.

:(

Will there be other one's at some point in the future Jason?

i got about 3-4 emails over the weekend from people with the same confusion so you weren't the only one. just an oversight.

Take a look at the big banner at the top of the forum, specifically where it says SALE EXTENDED... >_>

[hala]

It's a good question anyway because some of us would like to know aside from this deal that has been extended, if there will be more in the next few months or so, that way we can budget our money--I'm interested to know as well.

[Pochifux]

Okay, when I click on "downloads" I see a bunch of videos for $15, (not $9.99), and not the ones listed on the news bulletin. Specifically, I want Peter Konig's Creature sculpting, but it's nowhere in site...

[Pochifux]

Bumped until when?

Click on the BUY link and it will ring up on the next page for $9.99.

[ManaBurn]

Thanks a lot for this guys! It's much appreciated.

[AsaB]

I treated myself to the Zhanglu/Manley portrait video, although it was actually not on sale! I've just wanted it for such long time and decided to go for it, sure don't regret it, it's fantastic! Gonna rewatch it tomorrow and this time taking notes!

I just wish I had known yesterday that Dobsky's perspective vids had been on sale too all along, I so would've bought them along with the portrait one. They were actually on the top of my wish list. I really hope the sale will still be on tomorrow as I don't have access to a credit card now. It'd be nice to know how long the extension lasts.

[Pochifux]

Thanks guys, I had one more question, but after napping, I came up with the answer all my myself:asspat::mod:

[Pochifux]

For the record: The sale applies to downloads, not DVDs (though all the add says is "videos").
To buy them, do not click on "downloads", click on "DVDs", then the discount items will be displayed, although the discount will not appear until you click the button that says "Download now!", and proceed to checkout.

I still don't know when the sale ends, just that it was "bumped", but take note: If I'd have spent less time figuring out all these things, I would have spent more time spreading the word all over facebook (sounds dirty, I know, hehe).
In the end, this sale is to raise funds to make CA more efficient, so hopefully the next sale will be less confusing, once the changes are made :)

I'm happy I was able to at least get two downloads, and I think the sale is about to end, but that's probably better, cuz I might be tempted to just keep clicking on download after download ;)

The ad implies that you get 39 videos for 9.99 - actually, that's what it says, more like it's implied that they are 9.99 EACH - it's obvious once you take a second to think about it, but the somewhat misleading advertising got my attention, I got some awesome videos, and CA raised a bunch of money, so everyone wins, right?
and I had fun with these clever smileys while figuring this out:asslick::harbl::mittenbop::geekg:

[RyerOrdStar]

I bought a couple videos I'd been eyeing for a while.

But can I say, that the thing I love most about this forum, is that even the sale signs look well designed! It's so wonderful for the eyes. Makes me happy whenever I log on.

[Ninjerk]

The ad implies that you get 39 videos for 9.99 - actually, that's what it says


39 Titles at $9.99

No...

[AsaB]

So glad the extension was still on! Grabbed both perspective vids by Dobsky, currently downloading. Can't wait :)

[MassiveDVD]

It's a good question anyway because some of us would like to know aside from this deal that has been extended, if there will be more in the next few months or so, that way we can budget our money--I'm interested to know as well.

Big sales like this will be pretty rare, but I imagine we'll have 'featured item' promotions and things like that more frequently. Just trying to find the balance of making money for the artists and the website to keep it all going strong, while keeping things inexpensive enough for students.

btw,
SALE ENDS TONIGHT, TUESDAY, AT MIDNIGHT. THANKS EVERYONE... IT'S BEEN A BIG SUCCESS. :drinkup:

[Zaxser]

... and I've got to buy 45 bucks worth of stuff at the last second. I was hoping you'd extend this sale until I got my Terrabyte hard drive in the mail...

Seriously these files are huge! How long can I put off downloading them after purchase?

EDIT: The site I'm at now says it should be fourteen days, but I went and bought and few (..about 64ish bucks worth, went back, and bought another one, but I can't find the ones I already bought.

Sigh...

Links are emailed to the address you placed the order with.

If you can't download them in time we almost always request grants for additional downloads. :)

Hope you enjoy the vids... and that terabyte should sort you out for awhile I'd hope! :)

[Zaxser]

Yup. They were right there. You've got a good system in place. Thankyou.

[Jason Manley]

I want to thank each and every one of you for picking these up. We managed to raise close to twenty percent of what the site needs for the new technology that is being created to upgrade conceptart.org into what it needs to be in this day and age. The investment in learning and in making this place better is worth it. I promise you that,

Much more to come...much more to do. Next vid up now that the sale is over is my composition video. As with the others, the proceeds to CA are going for the community tools we are working on.


Thank you.


Jason
