Digital Visual Effects and Compositing

Drawing on decades of production experience and more than 10 years of refined teaching--training real-world visual effect artists--VFX artist, filmmaker, and author Gress distills everything into one book targeting those who dream of creating VFX and movies, taking them from novice to a professional level of understanding of all the principles, skills, and techniques, from foundations and basics to the cutting edge and professional VFX artist in the shortest time possible. Special features included are numerous VFX and other image/movie files to use as examples, many available for download from the Peachpit website, download of the Aurasma augmented-reality (AR) app for iPhone or Android for a preview of the book, and an entire crash course in stereoscopic 3D creation (chapter 14).
