Visual Effects Animation

Looking into Visual effects i found it really impressive in the use of composting objects and the difference it has made to movies such as fast and furious. Visual effects is quite an interesting area to work in, I would not mind learning some composting for personal use but I'm not sure if its the area i want to go in even though i do find it appealing.Here are some videos I looked at to introduce me into Visual effects.
