Review
"After Effects Apprentice" provides a strong foundation for the aspiring motion graphics designer or visual effects artist. It is an excellent resource to help users get up to speed in After Effects quickly and to maximize their creative expression.
Steve Kilisky, senior product manager, Adobe After Effects.

The Meyers have once again shown their eloquence and expert knowledge of After Effects. It is my opinion that After Effects Apprentice will be the primer for all those who are learning After Effects in production work.
R.Christopher Biggs, special digital effects animator, Walt Disney Imagineering

I literally learned After Effects from Trish Meyer two weeks before starting work on "Star Wars: Episode 1".... Their commitment to quality, and more importantly clarity, makes all of their books a "must-have." "After Effects Apprentice" is a great way to get started in After Effects...possibly the best way.
Alex Lindsay, chief architect Pixel Corp

.an essential primer for anyone exploring their creativity with Adobe After Effects. Trish and Chris Meyer set the standard for their knowledge and teaching ability.
Michael Coleman, product manager, Adobe After Effects

Chris and Trish Meyer's clear and concise instructions make motion graphics accessible to everyone.
Louise Ping, senior product marketing manager, Adobe After Effects

The text is a brilliant introduction to the world of motion design and visual effects. The Lessons move through fundamental concepts and workflows that are at the heart of professional compositing and motion graphic techniques
Eugene Pak, motionmonk studios

This book provides a "missing link" for those who need to master essential After Effects techniques but also want to improve their overall grasp of broad motion graphics and VFX principles and methods.
Dave Hurley, Instructor, San Francisco State University MSP

The lessons are structured very well, the writing is easy to understand, and each step builds on the previous one. I will defiantly use this book in my Motion Graphics class at MiraCosta College. Thanks for making my job much easier!!
Dan Wagner, Instructor - Motion Graphics, MiraCosta College

The Meyers are truly masters at teaching Adobe After Effects. A must-have for all those wanting to learn Adobe After Effects . [with] tutorials designed to systematically improve the skills to cover even more advanced areas.
Roland Kahlenberg, broadcastGEMs.com

Trish and Chris have done it again...I have always liked Trish and Chris' approach to teaching complex lessons...they talk to you, not at you...It is a great book even if your not new to AE.

Very well written, interesting and useful excercises, excellent layout and easy to follow. All the example files are all as they should be, this is an all to common problem in many manuals, so there are no frustrating moments sidetracking you from your learning. This is the only book you need to get you started in After Effects. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
