Folks who’d like to see how we did some of the tricks in the new Day 419 film can find out in the new book from Michele Yamazaki, Plug-in To After Effects, which unveils the power of third party plugins in After Effects, like Twixtor which we used for most of our slow-motion effects in Day 419. In the book, Michele included a piece I had written about how we used Twixtor effectively on Day 419! (I just got my copy of the book and am eager to see all the other cool things hidden in the pages! For filmmakers, getting a book on how to make cool special effects is sort of like when you were a kid and you received a book on how to do magic tricks! You just knew that everyone around you was going to be amazed when they see what you come up with!)
If you’d like to pick up a copy yourself, you can got to the Plug-In to After Effects Amazon page and purchase one! (And, if you’d like to buy a book I wrote WITH Michele, you can also pick yourself up a copy of GreenScreen Made Easy and learn how to do cool greenscreen effects!)
