Understanding Motion Graphics was created to give designers a jump-start in exploring motion graphics, including designing for television and film. We'll clear up any misconceptions you may have, and will help you make informed decisions about software, hardware, training and so on.When you order the Understanding Motion Graphics package, you get:
A VIDEO. Using a combination of narrative, illustrative animations, and real-world examples from noted studios (Margo Chase Design, CyberMotion, and others) the U.M.G. video provides a complete introduction to motion graphics. We examine and explain -- in plain English -- the concepts and abstractions involved in motion graphics work of all kinds, and follow with a close examination of the software and hardware required, what circumstances call for what kinds of purchases, and associated costs. Then we take a look at the kinds of work available, and what you'll need to get started.
A CD-ROM The cross-platform U.M.G. CD-ROM contains software and special tutorials that will let you try your hand at motion graphics. You'll also receive Photodisc's new FlickFinder, which includes 4 FREE hi-res clips, and their latest ImageFinder CD for access to more than 33,000 still images.
A WEBSITE. You also get access to the UMG section of our website, containing pertinent links and reads, loads of excellent links to references, and an online glossary of motion graphics terms, for you to get answers to your questions quickly and easily... anytime.
