They aren't supposed to be tutorials (in that place), but demos. Both will show skill and possibilities. They don't even need to contain commentary, just the animation/recording/picture is often enough. I would include for that category also timelapses and some speed-modelling sessions, along with free, opensource, nice music. That will stand for first-time, glance-like impressions.<br>
<br>After that we need longer videos, which can be organized in a form of tutorials or at least more detailed explanations about features.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(53,28,117)">
Things which are mentioned by Gerard are extremally important for good tutorials targeted to widest possible audience, so we probably need them not only in English, but also with translations and subtitles. This however is a tremendous work, which needs to be done in the Future.<br>
