I just bought After Effects Apprentice, Second Edition by Chris and Trish Myer and Photoshop CS4 Down & Dirty Tricks by Scott Kelby
I’ve only had a chance to go through the first couple of pages of each book so I don’t have a full impression of each book yet, but I am exceited to start learning the applications.
I have been blessed with a new oportunity at church doing more media work than audio work so I am hoping these 2 books can get me started.
Of course so far the best resources I have found are Brad Zimmerman’s Church Media Design and Andrew Kramer’s Video Copilot.
I’ll be going through the articles on those sites for Months!
