I'm lost after 1:53. What did you say to press, "AB" or "8B" command to select everything? The "alt, rt click" then "shift, alt, rt click" really didn't work for me. The lines are not straight, yo. They're more like a "V" shape. I'm going crazy here. My eyes are lookin' retarded, now.

"a" to deselect everything... then you need to press alt and right click to select that "ring" of vertexs.. .you need to watch where the mouse is as well.

Doesn't Blender look so ancient and clunky now. Thank goodness Blender has gone a long way in two years and is now as I speak blender 2.6a. It is now the best available 3d software in the world and is now much easier to use, yet continues to be completely free and easy to use. Commercial competitors of this Blender software must surely be frustrated.

Why bother charging ripoff prices when there is a better software for free.

OK, think I figured out the problem with your shift + e instruction at 1:30 or somewhere around there. I think you actually meant to say shift + d, might wanna be more careful in the future as to not confuse those new to the program.

A new problem seems to have taken the place of the old one though. You instruct at around 5:25 to select the eye... but you don't fully describe how. I tried using b and can only select the eye itself, not the lids. Can you explain how in more detail?

Thank you.

[ChaosKaiser]

Shift select everything beneath it? I tried that and it just moves something in the center.

Not to mention shift + e didn't do anything, are you sure your using factory settings? Because if not it would be nice to know how your blender is configured so others can keep up easier. Just trying to clear up some issues.
