Hi
I have Adobe CS5 Master Collection.
I have a strong interest in learning how to use After Effects and also at a later time Final Cut Pro/ Avid Media Composer and Maya.
I have a recently taken to working on my own independent films and would love to be able to reproduce the kind of effects you see in shows many of today’s scifi or fantasy TV shows.
I intend on going through the tutorials on lynda.com and video copilot (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/).
I would like to be able to reproduce most of the effects displayed in video copilots tutorials.
To do so though, will i need a good working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator?? I have a very very basic knowledge of both programs at the moment.
Thanks for your suggestions
