Digital Compositing for Film and Video
Production Workflows and Techniques
«
"This book covers both the basic fundamentals and the advanced techniques of compositing, but Steve also presents the reader with a deeper background on the task at hand. You're not just getting a how-to manual, but an understanding of why you do it."
—Patrick Tubach, VFX Supervisor, Industrial Light & Magic
"Digital Compositing for Film and Video is the must have book for all compositors at all levels. I always keep copies close on hand for my artists to use and still refer to it often myself. The book covers the skills all compositors must know and the techniques needed when you are fighting tricky shots."
—Jeffrey Jasper, CTO, JTS Productions, LLC
"What’s astounding about this book is that, for the last 16 years, every edition has been ahead of its time in terms of teaching and explaining the different techniques, technologies, and tools used on a daily basis by compositors around the world. Steve Wright has managed, once again, to stay ahead of the game and spearhead the education of current and future compositors."
—Ara Khanikian, VFX Supervisor, Rodeo FX
