I learned blender just to make this feature film. Took me around 3 months to get a handle on the basics, the rest was figuring it out in pre-production. Production, I had a pretty comfortable handle on it.
Reminder, if you bought tickets, you have 2 more days to watch!

My 14 year-old brother is learning Modeling, Rigging, Texturing, UV Mapping, Shapekeys, and Re-Topo all on his own
