Ready to learn the visual effects techniques used at such leading-edge
studios as Industrial Light + Magic and The Orphanage? Adobe After Effects
7.0 Studio Techniques inspires you to take your work to the next level
with real-world examples and insider techniques. With this under-the-hood,
in-depth guide to Adobe's updated motion graphics and effects powerhouse,
you'll get complete coverage of all the big features in After Effects 7.0:
High dynamic range (HDR) 32 bit per channel color compositing, cinema preview
and color management, a redesigned user interface, a new Graph Editor to
animate using explicit translation curves, retiming effects using Timewarp,
and dozens of other enhancements. Get blockbuster results without the big
budget as you delve deep into the essence of visual effects. This book goes
beyond conventional step-by-step instruction, teaching you bread-and-butter
effects that you can adapt and combine for countless projects.
- Real solutions from real professionals: learn the techniques and approach
used to create shots for big-budget special effects films.
Compositing essentials: No matter how sophisticated the effect, they all
begin with the same building blocks. Find out what you've been missing about
color and light matching, keying, motion tracking, rotoscoping, working
with film, and more.
- Advanced techniques: Your goal should be effects so good that no one
notices them. From sky replacement to explosions, from smoke to fire,
learn to bring your shots to life and enhance scenes without anyone ever
knowing what they're seeing isn't 100% real.
- Companion CD-ROM: Professional tools produce professional results. Stop
relying solely on ready-made solutions and pre-built effects. Learn how to
build up and customize your own effects with the tools at hand -- you'll be
amazed at how much better the results look.
