Hi,
I have just began my adventure with silverlight, I'm pretty good c# programmer.
After the installation of Expression Blend a dialog appears from which you can open a sample project called "Video shelf".
I will realy appreciate if somebody can quide me where can I find and play annimations using Blend which are used in this project? I tried to find something in "Objects and timelines" but nothing is there.

All the samples that ship with Blend 2.5 are WPF applications. There are no Silverlight samples.
However, in Objects and Timeline there should be drop down box at the top that says "(No storyboard open)", open it and you should see the available storyboards (animations). Select one to open it in design view. This will start recording, so be aware that any changes you make will be added to that storyboard.
That particular example, for some reason, does not display well in storyboard edit mode (see AnimationStudio example for a simpler and better view). Also note that with this project some of the storyboards cannot be opened in design view (you will see and error message) as they are media timeline animations that cannot be edited.
If you really are interested in Silverlight, as opposed to WPF, then do not pay too much attention to these examples as WPF has many XAML constructs, amongst other things, that Silverlight does not support.
