Of all the After Effects books I looked at whilst trying to learn it, I found Angie's was the most user-friendly and creative.Chris Cunningham, director of music videos, commercials and video art
.a worthwhile investment for animators and artists who want to focus on creating their designs and not get bogged down in technical jargon.
Steve Kilisky, Senior Product Manager, After Effects, Adobe Systems Inc.
...one of my favorite demo artists in the industry. Her tutorials are always compelling, well-designed, and worthwhile.
