<DIV>I am so excited to hear that the two of you are working on further
developing course content for Blender. My program currently teaches
Blender to elementary and high school students here in the States. We use
it now for video game development. But, I am also interested in having
them integrate it with Film.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would love to learn more about your ventures and results.</DIV>

I'm an animator and effects artist by trade and have been working in the TV
industry for the last 24 years. During that time I've used all the major 3d
packages (Softimage, Maya, Max, Lightwave etc.) and many of the effects
packages (After Effects, Matador, Digital Fusion etc.) Recently my company
has also started making games for the likes of the BBC as well as releasing
our first iPhone game.
I think Blender now stands up against the industry standard packages well.
It is now possible to produce broadcast or film quality productions with
free software.
The fact that it also integrates with a game engine so seamlessly is
astonishing and I think that as a package it will begin to gain more
credibility within the film, TV and games industries very soon.
Consequently, giving your students a brief taster of the entire package
would be a good first step in my humble opinion, then allowing them to
choose an area to specialise in. I know that doesn't make it easy for you,
having to be an expert in all disciplines, sorry.
I'm attempting to put a "course" together myself for school kids here in the
UK, I will send you my notes when they are written up if you wish?
cheers
Matt

I am teaching a Blender 2.62 course to my seniors in this last quarter. If
all works well next year, the course will spring into a full semester. I am
not sure, at this time, if I should move more into gaming or video
compositing with motion capture. Any thoughts?
