Product Description

Product Description
This is the ultimate recipe book for visual effects artists working in Apple Shake, Adobe After Effects, and Apple Motion. An impressive lineup of Hollywood and independent effects pros have pulled together this compendium of the coolest and most useful effects from A to Z ("Adding Clouds" to "Z-Depth Effects"). The book includes everything from practical everyday commercial techniques to breakdowns of well-known shots from blockbuster films. Readers learn to create light sabers from the artists who created them for Star Wars Episode 3; learn to freeze time from the wizard who invented the effect for The Matrix; and learn to create matte paintings from the pros who did them for Lord of the Rings. Coverage includes rotoscoping, painting, warping and distortion effects, dramatic lighting, adding lightening and fire, matchmoves, 3D CG integration techniques, advanced blue- and greenscreen techniques, and much more. DVD-ROM included. Foreword by Ron Brinkmann.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent, 20 Feb 2007
This quality book is for anyone who; wants to get a good grasp of how CG is done, wants to find an entry point into the seemingly complex world of CG. It can be read straight through, or used as a reference. There are many practical exercises, with an accompaning DVD.

One point to note, this book almost exclusively deals with SHAKE, and comes with a 30 day trial version. It is amusingly written, and richly illustrated, as usual with books from this publisher. No, the author is not a friend!!
