## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing - no other text compares
*by S***X on June 26, 2008*

I started my career in visual effects around the same time the first edition was published and have referenced it constantly through out the 9+ years. I bought the 2nd edition for two reasons, my copy of the first edition was falling apart and nostalgia. I was not expecting much new information and was mostly just looking for an intact copy of the first edition with a few new tidbits here and there. I could not have been more wrong.The second edition has so much NEW information in it was like reading a time capsule of the technological advances of the last ten years. There is not a topic or subject used in compositing that is not covered here. Only two books have sat on my desk my entire career, the first edition and the cinematographers manual. I have read many books available on visual effects, but none compare, honestly. The main reason for that is complete software independence, not partial, complete.There is no other book that teaches you the raw knowledge you need to be an artist. Anyone can teach you how to push certain buttons of a specific app, this is the only book that clearly teaches you when to push them and why. Artists in today's marketplace need a deep core knowledge of what the software packages are doing so that they can easily switch to other packages. This is especially true in feature film compositing where the industry is at a point of impasse and there is no clear winner of the package wars, fingers crossed for NUKE ;). There is no standard tool anymore so the best way to stay employable is to know what this book teaches, the math, the science, the art.This book is chock full of examples, color photos and production examples. Whether you've been at this for a while or are new to the art, own this book. Own it for years and years and years. Yes, it's more expensive then any other book on the subject but it is worth so much more then the others that it will pay for itself very quickly. If you already have the other books, sell them, get this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detailed yet accessible overview of the VFX industry and techniques
*by R***M on March 8, 2020*

Brinkman has created a readable yet technically rich introduction to VFX. It's long but worth the effort, with concepts, case studies and insight throughout. Although a little dated in 2020 it still provides excellent grounding in the subject for anyone interested in understanding how movies are made, whether hobbyist or professional.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm a seasoned compositor...
*by M***B on October 16, 2015*

I am a seasoned digital compositor (30+ years in the profession!) and I have enjoyed reading this book. Mr. Brinkman's discussions of color space, bit depths, digital image representation systems and compositing order (premultiplied, straight alpha, unpremultiply etc) are among the clearest I've encountered. Although most if not all of the information in this book can be found elsewhere, it is scattered among many disparate sources, which makes it difficult for someone entering the field to get a comprehensive understanding of how digital images are created, stored and manipulated.I'd recommend this book for pretty much any level of person involved in - or aspiring to be involved in - digital compositing... not necessarily as a handbook, but more as a discussion of the theory of compositing. Many (if not most) modern software packages somewhat hide the underlying math and concepts from the user, sometimes leaving newer users wondering what causes certain visual artifacts. Many of the answers are in these pages. This information is not always easy to come by, in a practical setting. Sometimes, the techniques of applying of this information are jealously guarded, and sometimes technical "misinformation" is widely accepted as fact.
