Adobe After Effects 5.0 Classroom in a Book is part of the official training series for Adobe graphics products. It's a pretty good place to start for beginners and those who have digested the After Effects User Guide and are looking for something more real-world to cut their teeth on.In contrast to the features-based approach of the User Guide, Adobe After Effects 5.0 Classroom in a Book breaks down a complex project into easily managed modules that demonstrate specific approaches and techniques. In 11 lessons you learn how to produce an 18-second film for TV and Web broadcast using many of the new After Effects 5.0 features including 3-D compositing, hierarchical relationships and expressions.
The lessons start simply and get more advanced as you progress. Lesson one kicks off with creating and animating 2-D shapes and by lesson six we've moved on to manipulating the camera and elements in 3-D space. The final chapters are devoted to putting the whole thing together and rendering for multiple output sources.
All of the project files and finished films are included on a CD for reference, so you can compare your own efforts with those of the tutors/authors. If things go wrong somewhere along the line this is one of the best ways of finding out why.
