I agree that trying to start a feature length film project when you are new to blender is way pre mature.
However I have noticed that in my Facebook Blender user groups you see total newbies Posting their(very primitive) renders/models every day and asking for project specific help which they get in abundance from the many skilled users in my groups
Yet in certain other "3D character" communities I see people who appear to be only collecting tutorials and engaging in endless theoretical discussion & criticism of Blender year after year, yet they never actually show any examples of any attempts to actually use the program.
Not even the ubiquitous "Doughnut "tutorial
When I ask them directly what are are their objectives in using Blender (modeling,Character animation, VFX etc)
Too often I hear very vague answers such as: "well I heard that blender was suppose to be this great program but all of the gurus in the tutorials use too many keyboard short cuts etc".
IMHO learning any Full 3DCC without a clear creative objective (Immediate or long term) is sort of like attending a university without ever majoring in anything.
