After Effects in Production

Rating:
Summary: An outstanding hands on book
Review: Wow, this book is amazing.
The authors presents the software to you, but they also make you think about the techniques and concepts.
They also have special guests in the book and various famous studios share their projects, visions and techniques.
This book is mostly targeted for intermediate to advanced users of After Effects, but don't be intimidated if you are a beginner.
The book comes with a fabulous CD ROM with the projects, movies, free tutorials and free plug-ins and an trial version of After Effects 5.0

Summary: Good book, Lousy customer support
Review: `While the book itself is a decent introduction to the topic, a lot of what is covered can be figured out on one's own, or from free tutorials online. Secondly, if you use AE 6, this book is out of date, both in the examples and the plug-ins used with the tutorials. After being promised downloadable updates of the plug-ins, I have yet to recieve my code from the publisher, despite numorous attempts to contact them. My advice: wait for a new edition, or seek help in the countless free resources`` available online.`
