Hey wut up, My name's Alex and Ive been using Blender for about three years, Lately I've Been useing Blender For Special Effects in High school video's. I use it side by side with proffesional programs like Adobe Premiere, and Pinnacle. Ive worked to generate great things with blender from basic 3D letters to fully dynamic 3D characters. I think this could be taken a step farther, alot of people seem to know how to program and tweek programs like Blender, and mabey this site could have a section were those people could work with the original blender creators and design stand-alone plug-in programs that are like an extention of the blender platform.
If its posibol, useing a method close to Adobe After Effects you could have a folder in the root directory named "plug-ins" and have blender recognize plug-in files and add them to a menu in the blender interface when you start up.
Examples of Plug-ins could be:

• Hair
  
• Muscles
  
• Advanced 3D font
  
• Chroma KEy
  

But its just a thought

by the way here is a little of wut Iv'e done with blender for a project...

Thanx for looking.
