Does New Blue FX work in Adobe After effects CS3?

What are the best schools in India and In the rest of the world that offer a professional degree at the Graduate level in the field of Video FX , Special Effects like done in movies, advertisements etc?

  • I'm a software engineer working for one of the service based company. I have always been fascinated with video editing, adding special effects, and have self taught myself the basic know how of Adobe After effects. I also love video editing, and spend my time on Adobe premier, or Vegas pro etc. Even though i love coding and i'm quite good at it, Video FX really fascinates me and i always have new ideas in my head but since i just learned everything through Google, i'm not able to make it happen exactly how i want it to be. I'm giving the GRE in a couple of months and was initially inclined towards MS in CS, but now i'm leaning bit more towards learning mainstream Video FX. Long story short, i wanna work for companies like Pixar and get to work on Movies and Advertisements that require such expertise. Also, i would love to know the prospects of it and if its a wise career choice. I don't mind studying from India itself as it'll be way lot cheaper but i Don't want to compromise on the quality of education. Thanks :)

    Hi there, This question's been answered before: I'm afraid I don't know enough about Indian schools to be able to offer any insight there. For more technical roles, I recommend the MSc I did at Trinity College Dublin (https://www.scss.tcd.ie/postgraduate/msciet/), but http://www.filmakademie.de/en/main-page/ and http://www.supinfocom.fr/ are also superb technical colleges as well. There are an abundance of roles within VFX that requires specialist software and technical knowledge, so if that's where your skillset lies I'd continue to focus on that. That said, if you're going for a technical role, you don't need to have a specialist degree from a VFX/animation focused college. There are people with Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, you name it, degrees sitting around me on a day to day basis. Cheers, Eoghan
