Rezensionen

"Visual Effects for Indie Filmmakers brings all the elements of the visual effects process into focus for indie filmmakers and students. If you want to be a professional and/or wrap your brain around 'how' the magic is created you're in the right place." -Matt Wallin, V.E.S., http://mattwallin.com/VCUarts

"This is a bang-up terrific book. If you're doing indie film, every so often you hit a single moment that's worth years in experience or film school. Reading Holmes and Powers-Going on VFX is exactly that. It's got all the how's and why's and lays out very on-the-ground knowledge that's real-life usable. A practical manual for indie filmmakers that will make you smarter, more skillful and show you all the tricks." -Ross Klavan, screenwriter, Tigerland et al

"I wish this text existed before I ever attempted to make a film. So many young directors venture into filmmaking led solely by their creative drive while being completely in the dark on the technical aspects they will need to utilize to bring their visions to life. This book is their flashlight." -Kevin Kölsch, director, Starry Eyes, Pet Sematary
