CS3 and CS4 features have been integrated throughout, including the pervasive use of Shape layers, Layer Styles, and Brainstorm * All instructions, screen shots, Guided Tour video training movies, and project files updated for After Effects CS4. I will defiantly use this book in my Motion Graphics class at MiraCosta College.
The lessons are structured very well, the writing is easy to understand, and each step builds on the previous one. This book provides a missing link for those who need to master essential After Effects techniques but also want to improve their overall grasp of broad motion graphics and VFX principles and methods. After Effects Apprentice is a great way to get started in After Effectspossibly the best way.Ĭhris and Trish Meyer’s clear and concise instructions make motion graphics accessible to everyone. Beyond their knowledge of the application their commitment to quality, and more importantly clarity, makes all of their books a Must-have. I consider Trish and Chris Meyer my source for After Effects insights. I wouldn’t have survived without her training. I literally learned After Effects from Trish Meyer two weeks before starting work on Star Wars: Episode 1. It is my opinion that After Effects Apprentice will be the primer for all those who are learning After Effects in production work. The Meyers have once again shown their eloquence and expert knowledge of After Effects. It is an excellent resource to help users get up to speed in After Effects quickly and to maximize their creative expression. ‘After Effects Apprentice’ provides a strong foundation for the aspiring motion graphics designer or visual effects artist.
