Recenzje

"The definitive text on an under-appreciated, but yet fundamental, profession within the Visual Effects Industry.

This book makes clear and approachable what can be a very technical, sometime arcane, subject that sits on the edge between Movie Production and Movie Post-Production.

It's a must-read for anyone starting out in Visual Effects, but also contains an abundance of information that even seasoned VFX Professionals won't already know, but should." - Jake Morrison, Visual Effects Supervisor, Tooth Fairy, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Iron Man 2
