While visual effects as a whole is not limited to just CG - a lot of it now-a-days (it seems) is.

I have observed that your profession when a effect requires a non- practical effect, to create such a thing requires a lot of really expensive kit to produce things of the scale and quality you have created.

My question to you : For a person who does not have access to this vast technical suite and is limited in funds to create even a remedial workstation- How would you suggest a person who wants to enter the visual effects field start down the path in doing so?

Its hard to learn with out the tools to do it.

Thank You! ^_^
