About the Book:

Digital Compositing for Film and Video has become a steady machine-side companion for even the most serious compositors because it contains encyclopedic knowledge of digital compositing plus it addresses real world production problems and provides their solutions. It comes complete with a companion DVD.

High on the reading list of top visual effects studios such as ILM and used as a textbook in colleges and training institutions, this book not only teaches the theory and practice of digital compositing but does it with constant eye towards practical real-world production problems. Filled with tips and tricks for creating photorealistic visual effects, it is thoroughly grounded in the real world of visual effects. The author Steve Wright's exceptionally readable style really keeps the information flowing without getting lost in technical details.
