Book Reviews of Flash + After Effects

Book Review: SAVE TIME and MONEY BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Hi there, the reason I am giving this book 5 stars is because the content in the book about production rendering movies to DVD and not making preproduction mistakes that would cost you dearly are discussed in this book, like Production for TV and using NTSC safe colors, and using Flash more efficiently reducing file sizes when making content, plus much more like using After Effects for creating Flash files is just a great help, and what I really appreciated was the part of using a 3D camera with After Effects and using a Blue Screen with live motion video with a person and adding a mask to composite over a special effect like we have all seen in major movie productions or weathermen broadcasting, it is all explained in laymens terms, there is stuff in this book that you will not find in other books that cover this subject
