The VES Handbook of Visual Effects

I just turned in my second draft edits for the approximately 40 pages I’m contributing to The VES Handbook of Visual Effects. This handbook covers a wide range of visual effects topics (my sections are about animation and general pipeline issues), broken down into sections on Preproduction, Shooting, Postproduction and Digital Element Creation.

More than 85 members of the Visual Effects Society, all visual effects practitioners in areas ranging from vfx supervisors to technical artists to animators to vfx producers, contributed subsections about their areas of expertise. If you are interested in Visual Effects, whether as a hand-on practitioner, or as a Director, Producer or Production Designer, this book will give you a comprehensive overview of the field.

It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com (it is slated to come out in August 2010). Click the cover image below to buy your copy today:
