Roger, I'm appreciative of your taking time to respond.<br>
I will take note of the tutorials, but everybody has their<br>
optimum learning styles.<br>
<br>
Actual in-person tutelage would yield the best results for me.<br>
While I am a technologist and daily laud the potential power<br>
of technology, I also acknowledge that old fashion apprentice<br>
style transfer of skills and knowledge will always have their<br>
honored place.<br>
<br>
If you're in The Bay, I could surely welcome you to the USF campus<br>
and lunch, in exchange for your tutelage.<br>

Do you know that there are free tutorials for Blender on CGGraphics.com, I think. Since you get on the Blender web site you should be able to find them if I got the web site wrong. Some of the tutorials are fee and can be downloaded. I don't have an internet hookup so I do all my net work on the College Computer internet system. I am learning a lot using those tutorials. You can listen to them and watch them over and over and learn more.<br>

Video has become such a digital capital these days, from a number of perspectives.<br>
I'd like to incorporate video into my Web Application Development seminar this summer, even though I have no strength in video and media arts.<br>

What would I like to accomplish visa vi Blender?<br>
<br>
1) showcase the dynamics of Open Source culture (i.e., creative crowd sourcing)<br>

2) basic exposure to Blender (to the point of building background elements for green screen video footage)<br>

Bay Area Blender Masters, I need you. I need you to school me on Blender: a train the trainer sort of thing. (I'm thinking mostly virtually so, with some face-to-face meets- if possible.)<br>

I searched for a Blender Meet-Up in the Bay Area but found none. Thus, I'm turning to this list.<br>

Looking forward to responses.<br>

In person would really be good for the first hour, I have taught<br>
people that way but you can learn a lot from the videos and quickly.<br>
<br>
You might be able to set up a skype tutorial. Also I did a LOT of my<br>
first we weeks of learning on blender IRC. It is great because you<br>
play by yourself but run into problems and get instant answers and<br>
lots of friendly help.<br>
<br>
After you get the basics of how to move around on the screen and mouse<br>
controls etc, I would recommend Andrew Price's free videos. Also most<br>
<a href="http://blender.org" target="_blank">blender.org</a> eshop videos can be had leagally from torrernt. If you<br>
have the cash, buy them but if not or if time is of the essence then<br>
download them.<br>
<br>
I would suggest looking on Blender Artists and other blender sites for<br>
a local teacher. I would be happy to teach you! I live in<br>
Gelsenkirchen-Buer, Germany. :-( Or you could send me tick to your<br>
house!!! :-) I have not been back to the USA in 7 years. It would be<br>
fun an I really like SF. I even have vacation this week.<br>
