I am convinced that anyone can learn something new. Back in high school, I had a weekend session on stop-motion photography, where we had to, essentially - create a cartoon. That was what people like to call "Back in the day". We did the stop motion using super-8 film. I made a basketball player and he did a layup. Was so cool to see the final result. Fast-forward some 250 years, and here we are with computers. I found out about this free software and a whole bunch of tutorial videos available in different places (primarily on youTube) and during the really cold winter months, I started to learn and experiment and imagine. You can find some of the creations I dreamt up here. I have learned that you need to have patience. Sometimes you can jump ahead, sometimes when you do you hit a wall, and need to go back to basics, or learn from others. But ultimately if you want to learn - it is possible.
I will add that I've not only learned a ton about computer animation and modelling, but my projects have prompted me to go back and do a bunch of review on Astrophysics, Cosmology and Quantum Theory. Fear not however - if you are not into sci-fi, scroll down and see Elmer and Squeek (I plan to someday go back and make them come alive).
