So I've decided to be a good person for once in my life and buy a program instead of pirating it, but I fell out of my chair when I saw:
Adobe After Effects CS3:
Buy US: $999
OR
Adobe Creative Suite Package:
Buy US: $1,799
So yeah. That's expensive. Not really surprising I guess, but still up there in price.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND: Is there a way to get this program any cheaper (I iz cawledge stoodent so mebbe campus IT has it cheap, idk I haven't checked yet)? Or should I find a 'friend' who has it and 'borrow' his computer to make my stuffs?
Any advice on this matter would be appreciated, I mean if I have to I'll spend the grand, but I'd REALLY like to avoid four digits if possible.
