Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Motion 4
Book Review: Just done with a lot of attention to detail.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mark Spencer's new book is packed with information, which is something that I like a lot -- especially when the index works so well and the glossary is short and clear.
A simple measurement of information that I use is: is it first hand information? Reader's might have seen Mark's appearance on MacBreak Studio, an HD-podcast show, which will have answered this question already.
The examples reach from nicely done broadcast scenes to a discussion of a VFX shot from the feature film "Traitor", which creates a nice mixture of content -- a balance that Mark Spencer understands how to keep, as well, in this particular ratio between images and text.
All in all, it is well structured, easy to dive right into the adventure of Motion4, as well as for the daily support of one's work. (Well, you might be like me and miss having the printed manuals a lot; Mark's book eases one out of that very nicely.)
Summary of Apple Pro Training Series: Motion 4
In this best-selling guide to Motion 4, you?ll create eight sophisticated projects including a 3D show promo, a network-style title sequence, a DVD motion menu, and an actual temp effect used in Overture Film?s Traitor. Each chapter represents a complete lesson, with a commercial-quality project to work through as you learn. Master trainer Mark Spencer starts with the fundamentals of motion graphics and quickly moves into compositing, animation, motion graphics design, visual effects design, and the world of 3D. The book is fully revised to take advantage of the software?s new features: you?ll explore 3D shadows, reflections, and depth of field; ?fly? a camera from one object to another; ripple text characters on and off the screen with ease; animate date and time sequences automatically; and master Motion?s remarkable new linking behavior. Along the way, you?ll work with particles, generators, filters, effects, templates, greenscreen mattes, keying, tracking, paint, and more. Whether you?re just entering the field or are already an accomplished motion graphics pro, this book will have you designing in Motion in record time.- DVD-ROM includes lesson and media files
