This is more or less the trade-rag of the special effects industry. Its a very well put together magazine that comes out quarterly. It has the how to and who did it of all the latest films. It also has a LOT of advertising for all the various effects houses with contact info for most. Most of these though are in CA not NY but I would highly recommend it anyway. Also if you have a favorite film you can get order back copies of whatever film peeked your interest. Another hint: Start putting together an "art" portforlio of sorts. Most of these type of places want some sort of proof that you are creative in addition to being able to code. Although the art doesn't necessarily have to be computer related. Good luck on your search. P.S. You didn't say but if you are still in college, ILM, Disney and a couple of the others offer internships. The competition is tough but it would be worth applying or getting the application form to see what they are looking for even.
