Hello, I want to create my own short 3D animation film in Maya. Nothing too fancy. Just as a hobby.

Can anyone give me some links to some tutorials (ebook/ video/ online article) which cover this topic?
I don't need a very detailed step-by-step tutorial (though I won't say no!); but it should cover all the important points and be easy enough for a beginner/intermediate user to understand.

I have tried searching the web, but haven't been very satisfied with the results.

Regards.

Best thing is to get it and try on your own.

It takes some amount of time, patience and knowledge to make a short film even of few seconds duration if you are making it single handedly. Good luck with it.
