Is Computer Generated Imaging software widely available to normal people?

I saw someone on youtube say people should not dismiss Bigfoot, Ghost,& UFO videos, as CGI because CGI is only available to professional hollywood special effects people. Is it possible for an ordinary non-hollywoods person to use CGI at home to fake mouths moving on paintings, statues blinking, dolls moving, gnomes in their yard etc?

    It is widely available and you can even do it on free software. Hitfilm express is a high powered video editing thing (with tons of tutorials out there) and it is free (yes, you can pay a bit to add on more effects and things but even that is cheap compared to other software) but you might already have a pretty powerful editor on your computer. Blender is free open source to make 3D  modeling software if you want to go that route also.
