Good Book recomendations ?

[Ron Lindeboom]

If, as you say, you’d like books more general in scope than specifically those that deal with After Effects, then I can’t recommend the following book highly enough. It is a great book and everyone I know who has bought it has loved it. It’s an amazing piece of work from a guy who hails back to Bob Abel & Associates where effects technology was largely pioneered.

Digital Compositing for Film and Video with CDROM by Steve Wright This is a hands-on, practical how-to guide addressing the problems and choices faced by the professional compositor in real-life situations. Written by a senior compositor with over ten years’ experience in both feature film and broadcast television, this book offers a broad range of alternative solutions that will save hours of fiddling with composites trying to get them to look right when the basic tools aren’t working. A companion CD-ROM provides examples of the many topics covered in this book. Read review by COW co-founder, Ron Lindeboom.

Anyway, that’s my vote…

“Digital Compositing for Film and Video”, by Steve Wright is a must have.

I just ordered “Adobe After Effects 6.5 Studio Techniques” by Mark Christiansen which was recommended as a high-end general VFX book, related to After Effects.

Mighty Barend,

Good to bump into you, this morning. Please give our love to Ingrid and tell Jurrie that we finished production on the new Strawbs album and it is at the replicator now. Will be out by the end of June.

Send me a quick email with your phone number (Kathlyn’s still sleeping this morning and I do not know where she has your number) and I will give you a call.

Best always,

Ron Lindeboom
