Newbie trying to learn.

I am having fun with SA, but it does have a learning curve.
What I am finding is that the basics, are quick to get, but finding more advanced tutorials is hard.
I am interested in creating videos with alpha.

Does any one has suggestions for the best resources to dive into these topics?

Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
