Gus Amuck: The Making of RTAA - Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures

[@Zreen001]

Be sure to research full sail if you're interested in it. This is an ad, an ad will not show you the negatives or it will wrap the negatives as positives.

[@DZMoops]

Agreed. Source: almost went to Full Sail before I researched and saw all the negative things about it.

[@Nebularban]

+Darius Moore What are the negatives, anyway?

[@thunderstorms508]

For what it's worth, Full Sail is a for-profit university. Draw your own conclusions

[@kirby-rh5js]

Nebular To make an overgeneralization, for profit universities are more expensive than other universities and less prestigious. So you’re usually paying more but getting a worse degree.

[@aidanquiett668]

@@kirby-rh5js I'm not sure worse is the right word there. They wont be as well known, but they are way more likely to care about what they are teaching and make an effort to really give you what you need for the field you are going into. Meanwhile, community colleges are notorious for teachers who do less than the minimum and having majors that frankly wont get you anywhere or give you any job opportunities, as well as them spending the money the get on the campus instead of on teaching

[@kclowney97]

If you are in the Orlando area and intertested in animation/production/film, go to Valencia or Seminole state, then you can earn your A.A. Then transfer up to UCF if desired. full sail is a for profit school, that only cares about their exposure. My coworker had gone to full sail first and took a loan out for it, ended up dropping out of Full sail, and is now starting again at Seminole then having to go to UCF, while in debt.

This ad is doing the opposite of what it's supposed to be doing. The comments are brutal

[@nickenglehart6469]

Well here's the thing full sail is not a good school I wanted to go there when I was younger then I realized that would be a horrible idea. It is outrageously overpriced and typically people who go there don't end up in the field they persued. So full sail spends loads of money for advertising not only on commercials but getting other internet personalities to promote them, realizing that the people who watch them might want to go in an artistic/technical field. Therefore manipulating people into going by trusting their favorite influencers.

[@katerina3312]

Full sail is nationally accredited and not regionally accredited so it’s degrees aren’t recognized everywhere unlike MOST film schools. It’s also a for profit school, and the government is looking to ban fasa being used on for profit.

[@sylvrwolflol]

It's also _egregiously_ expensive for the quality of education you get there. It's not worth going.

[@Reggaetonaldo]

Just like ITT tech and many others.

[@dakotatomlinson8461]

I cant speak for animation But I loved the Game Design Bachelor's degree. Going for my Master's soon. And it was definitely worth going. I'm gonna have a Master's before most people I graduated high school with have their Bachelor's. On top of that, there are plenty of networking opportunities. I have connected with many industry professionals thanks to the school. Honestly, it's all about how serious you are. Full Sail is not for everybody. Some people just can't keep up with the pace. And like I said, I cant speak for animation. But for me, it's been an amazing experience.

So they aren't allowed to talk about the process that goes into their animations or appreciate their workers if working conditions were troubled? The controversy wasn't even about RTAA it was about the 3d team being overworked, and they already put other series on hold and delayed RWBY by a few weeks, perhaps more. This is literally just an educational video to advertise Full Sail not about the working environment.

[@GrimmsDeath]

It's an Advertisement for Full Sail University. Seriously need to take some tips from LinusMediaGroup when it comes to separation of sponsored and creative material. In a recent podcast Linus talked about how they accidentally uploaded a sponsored video under the name of a creative video that does have sponsors but the content and script is created by LMG and the sponsors have nothing to do with the products being used in the video. This caused an issue due to the aforementioned mis-named video being under their review series and not their sponsored name scheme because fans noticed this and called Linus a sellout, he defended himself and his company and even stated that the error was caught and the video was re-named to fit their structure. Basically take a page from that book please and don't hide sponsored videos in creative videos.

In my opinion, I dont care if this is blatantly an add because its still enjoyable to watch and honestly a little informative about their creation process.

Do you think the companies care about the piece of paper, or your abilities?

[@lillianwalling9539]

False actually. I feel like you saw the word accredited, and didn't know what they meant by that. Their degrees are not always recognized by local institutions, though they are nationally accredited. This means that yes, it is a real degree. And no, companies don't care about whether a school is regionally accredited. So although you may not be able to transfer your courses to another school down the street, the degree is just as valuable as any other.
