Mr Sprogg is correct lol. What you want to do is pretty advanced stuff, take a step back and get your modelling, Texturing, animation, lighting and all that other stuff up to a good level and then worry about compositing.
Oh BouJou is a great App for getting camera data into maya, but After Affect can do the same.
My advise, take baby steps.
