This book contains a wide range of topics that will aid my work, including an overview of the technical and artistic nature of digital compositing. It covers basic image creation, and looks at the visual cues that are necessary to create a believable composite.
“Digital visual effects in cinema the seduction of reality by Stephen Prince”
This text also looks at the key entities needed to create a realistic composite, comparing largely grossing Hollywood films and discussing ther techniques. Stephen Prince offers a detailed exploration of not only stereoscopic 3D, but also image capture and even lighting technologies, all relevant to my final project.
