Digital Compositing for Film and Video
In the world of graphics production, few books attain legendary status. In the past decade, two come to mind: David Biedny's ''Photoshop Channel Chops'' and Trish & Chris Meyer's ''Creating Motion Graphics.'' Well, if I were to pick another book that could stand right alongside these two titles and hold its own -- it would be Steve Wright's ''Digital Compositing for Film & Video.'' Some would read that and ask: ''Have you lost your mind, Boomer?'' To that, I can only answer that in 6.5 years of building forums-based communities online, we have met few people who have mastered what's in this book. Even fewer can articulate this mastery. Steve is one who has accomplished both. Buy it -- unless you could have written it yourself.

How to become a Feature Film Compositor by John Lafauce Jr.
Have you ever wanted to contribute to building a twenty thousand man army in "Troy", make a mouse fly a plane in "Stuart Little 2", or launch a doomed luxury liner in "Titanic?" You can achieve visual feats you never dreamed possible and accomplish them all through the magic of compositing. Read this article written by John Lafauce Jr., and see... How to become a feature film compositor. A note just to clarify: this article is about high-end 2d/3d compositing for long form media such as films, where the goal is to make the work seamless, integrated and "invisible". Not to be confused with compositing for motion graphics, where the objective is to make the object or design stand out and be "visible" to the viewer.
