Alright brains trust, there are a huge number of training resources on the web so I'm looking for recommendations. I want to learn something new, but want more than the standard "let's model a head" style of tutorial. I want a project to learn from.

I'm looking for something that's going to start with nothing, or perhaps raw plates and footage, and teach me how to make that into a thing. I don't mind of it's editing, 3d, animation, compositing, vfx, sound design, colour timing, match moving, etc. Frankly I love it all to pieces. My restrictions are I need to be able to get access to the tools required, I can only play on weekends, and want to be able to go back to the lessons down the track to swot up.

Fxphd does things along these lines, but you need a higher skill base line to play effectivly than I have (being in a non-creative field).

Chances of finding something like this?
