Bonaparte Posted August 22, 2008 Dear members, We are proud to announce the opening of "The Eurobricks Reviewers Academy" What's this all about? Some of Eurobricks finest LEGO set reviewers have agreed to teach Eurobricks members the secrets of making a superior LEGO set review. Under their supervision, you will learn the tricks of effective photography, picture manipulation, and the secrets of presenting an interesting and informative review. What's needed to join the academy? You must have at least 3 complete sets (including instructions, box is not a must). These sets can be old or new. You must have a decent camera (no webcam) and know how to move pictures from the camera to your PC. You must have enough time to follow the courses and work on your own reviews. You must be motivated to learn how to make the best possible LEGO set reviews. What's to gain? You will receive a free course from some of the best LEGO set reviewers on the Internet. You are given access to a hidden forum on Eurobricks (The Eurobricks Reviewers Academy). You have the chance to earn a special Eurobricks Reviewers tag upon graduation. Some graduates may have the opportunity to become a "teacher" (and moderator!) in the academy (conditions explained in the academy). Please post in this thread if you would like an opportunity to participate in this exciting program! Everyone who's a member of Eurobricks can join when he/she meets the requirements listed above. I would like to thank everyone who helped these past weeks to make this possible by working on the courses, graphics and the concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Kid Posted August 22, 2008 I'm game for this. I'm not bad at writing the review itself, but I could do with some help on the technical side of things and decent picture taking etc. Count me in. TK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cardinal Brick Posted August 22, 2008 It sounds interesting, and I’d like to sign up but can I ask how long the course will take? I start at my new University in early October and don’t want to give up part way though the review course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cardinal Brick Posted August 22, 2008 That’s fine I should be able to fit it in fine then, do I need to buy three new sets (not that I’m looking for a reason to buy three more or anything)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Posted August 22, 2008 I'd love to join, as my reviewing skills need much work. I could use help on various topics, ranging from writing to photography. Count me in- I'd love to have a chance to learn how to make an excellent review from Eurobricks' amazing set reviewers, and thus, obtain a chance to aid another with a set review. Thanks for the opportunity, Bonaparte! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cardinal Brick Posted August 22, 2008 There's not need to buy new sets. ANY (complete) sets you have (including instructions) are good. Shall you join? Then I'll give you access. That's great count me in, if you would be so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VBBN Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) I am certainly in. You guys might disagree, mainly due to my Bionicle reviews, and my other System reviews(droid gunship, MT0201 Ultra Drill walker, etc.) They are good, but I would like to reduce flash problems and take close up pics better. By 3 complete sets, do you mean MISB? Edited August 22, 2008 by ~VBBN~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
