Thanks Ric, Some of the animations are quick, but one of the advantages of video is that you can replay sections to see what is going on. I wouldn't expect many to be able to pick up all of the concepts on the first pass. It may be a case of being too close to the product, but when I slowed them down I found my attention lagged.
If you were wanting to see the next one after each one that you finished, I will accept that as one of the finest compliments I have been given.
