For what's it's worth, here are my thoughts:
If young billy wanted to be a train driver when he's older, would he get daddy to go out and buy him a TGV? If Sarah (for the sake of equal opportunity) wanted to be a racing driver, would mummy (again being PC here) go and get little Sarah a formula 1 car?
In the real world the answer would be no to both. If you want to make it big in the world of film and tv, the only thing that'll get your foot in the door is a demonstration of talent and a willingness to do whatever it takes. Knowing FCP inside out would be nice, but doesn't make the tea. And from what I hear, you'll be making lots of brews.
You know what I reckon? I think you should save the pennies until you're safely on the path of your goal. Play around with the entry level software - we all start somewhere and if you've got the talent, your skill rather than wizbang software will shine through.
As with all my postings I reserve the right to be completely wrong. |
