"Over 40 fun, easy tricks anyone can do!" That's what it says on the cover and thats what this book is about. 42 of the most basic effects. For instance, how to simulate and earthquake: Shake your camcorder and parts of your set.

I was really disappointed. If you consider applying make-up a special effect then you won't be. This would probably be a good book for kids.

The book is thin, the material is borderline goofy.
Got it read in about 10 minutes.
I could have written this book in maybe a day.
For the absolute absolute beginner with no imagination.

Well, I was amazed to see that the special effects section of this book was very helpful. This is definitely a book I would actually pay for, considering I work for a book distribution company.

The format of the book was incredible! The sections were each displayed very descriptively, while most how-to books I read are poorly descriptive.

An unimportant comment of this book is that it is too short. You fail to learn all of the basic concepts of digital recording.

This book deserves a 5-star remark, but I would feel much more comfortable giving this book only 4-stars. I felt it could be longer and contain more concepts of digital recording.

I just want to say another thing on behalf of my new company, Titanium Skate Co. We would like to inform all of the skaters that our products will begin the manufacturing process in August.
