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.

John David Hutton reviews Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects
CreativeCOW leader John David Hutton reviews Trish and Chris Meyer's Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects...Volume 1: The Essentials, published by CMP Books, 496 pages, 3rd Book & DVD edition (September 10, 2004), ISBN:1-57820-249-3, and writes, "Affectionately referred to by After Effects evangelists world-wide as "The Bible," the "Meyers books" or "CMG" have become not only the standard for Adobe After Effects training but also the de facto standard for all training books to live up to. The design and layout as well as the graphical elements make this set of books not only candy for the mind and eye but great learning tools to aid the reader in understanding the vast field of motion graphics and After Effects."
