This summer I recorded a course for lynda.com's [amazing] online video training library. Lynda has been a great learning tool for myself and many other creative folks I know. I'd definitely recommend checking out their site if you're doing anything with digital media. A little about the course:

Game Character Creation in Maya is a thorough overview of techniques for creating characters for video games or real-time rendered applications. Chris Reilly’s course covers low-poly modeling, texturing and animation, using 3D model and texture assets created in Maya and Adobe Photoshop. The course also includes an overview of Unity 3, including importing characters and making interactive animations with the Script Editor. Exercise files accompany the course.
