This tutorial book presents a creative array of real-world techniques for using After Effects in video and film work.
All 12 tutorial projects are commercial projects that the artists created for a client budget of $10,000 or less, using only the plug-ins that come with the software. Special focus will be given to the fundamental techniques that are important to those motion graphic artists who are getting started in their careers.
The companion DVD contains the source files required for the reader to replicate the techniques as well as Apple QuickTime presentations of the final projects. The project editor, Richard Harrington, is an Adobe Certified Expert and Instructor in Photoshop and After Effects. He is a visual communications consultant, faculty member at American University and the Art Institute of Washington, and author of Photoshop CS for Nonlinear Editors.
