VFX newbie

Hey, my name is Michael and I’ve been looking into visual effects for a few years now and I’m planning on attending SCAD Atlanta to study Visual Effects. But I still do not know much at all but I have done a few things with AE but I’m not too familiar with composition programs appart from Nuke, Maya and Combustion. I’d love to know more and if some of you could hit me up with a few tips and other things just to know more seeing as most of the people on this forum know what they are talking about.

Thanks 😀

Better place for Learning visual effects USA or UK ?

Hi
this is shekhar jain from indore. i have done my BE in computing with specialization in multimedia from APIIT SD INDIA. I m looking for masters program in visual effects. I came across few options but still confused on the basis of country.

In USA we have:
1) MFA animation and visual effects, Academy of art university, San franciso (3 yr, Cost to prog approx 28 lac )
2) MFA visual effects , SCAD, cost to prog approx 25 lac, time 2 yr min.
3) Pratt university 3 yr course.. almost same fees
4) school of cinematic arts , USC 3yrs almost same fees

in UK :
1) MA digital effects (bournemouth university) 1 yr 8 lacs
2) MS visual effects (leeds met university) 1 yr 8 lacs
3) same in university of teeside
4) kingston university ,london

although all the UK courses are specific to visual effects which i really want. because i have a graduation in multimedia plus i have 1 yr of industry exposure thats i dont want to go for 3 yr program learning all the basics n all again.

now we all know UK houses have also given few admirable works in visual effects.

plus its just 1 yr so i m planning to go for i yr course at uk …

please help me selecting a good institute and country and deciding the pathway to VFX industry.

Using 30fps fire for 24 fps compositing animation

I need to make some fire footage clips for compositing into a 24 fps animation.

I have a Canon powershot sx 100is
it does
640 x 480 @ 30fps

I want to film objects on fire that are moving–like a fiery arm swinging..and use the flame in compositing work…but I dont want to get a new camera just for filming fire. I was thinking of either finding a way to convert the 30fps to 24
or just cut out a few frames spaced out of 30 to get 24.
Think its doable without looking sucky?
Trying to think of the drawbacks before igniting anything…
