Me Love This Long Time
I personally find this to be very informative :D
It covers the basics of three essential graphics/animation programs: Flash, Photoshop, and 3ds Max. The latter two work very well together once you get into the more advanced 3ds Max material. However, for someone learning the basics, this is a solid tutorial. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to turn up the music, go get some glow sticks, and have myself a one-man rave.
