one word (or two)
post production
Maya doesn't do post production so you need to take your animation to a post production package and fiddle around there
also you'll want to render in layers if you want to fuzzy up some objects but not all
things like adobe after effects, toxik, and apple shake are post production tools
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D
