Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects
PROS: The text book is well written and easy to understand.
CONS: The companion DVD that contains the resource files for the tutorials was defective. I returned the book and the DVD for a replacement and the second DVD was also defective. The THIRD DVD finally worked.
Great Book For motin graphics
It was recommended by my instructor and has proven to be a healthy resource for knowledge of both after effects and motion graphics. Definitely the first book I would by if you are trying to learn MG.
Another Great AE Book from the Meyer Family
I used this book after finishing up with the Meyer's fantastic "After Effects Apprentice" book. This book, "Creating Motion Graphics with After Effects", was a great way to firm up what I had learned from other sources.
Highly recommended!
Great Book
Well, I finally finished the book. I guess I will join the many 5 star reviewers. After reading this book, I have a great foundation of all the features AE offers. I didn't want to do too much as far as working the tons of examples the book offers this go'round, I just wanted to learn the "language". Now I will go through the book again. This time tackling the projects along with my own ideas.
I was a novice going in, and still am to an extent, but the Meyer's takes the intimidation out of you and teaches you principles where when you do speak to other seasoned artist you understand and can execute anything they do.
True what the others say . . .
Excellent and well supported work. Starts from the very basics and gets into the esoterics. I use this work as the primary resource for mastering After Effects.
