I purchased this book to learn how to use Motion. This book really unleashes the creative thought process to create visually stunning effects with simplicity. This book has so much more than what I expected.

Great book- very useful and easy to follow. Price was fair. I thought the shipping could have been faster- another book ordered the same day came almost a week ahead of this one.

Mark Spencer's new book is packed with information, which is something that I like a lot -- especially when the index works so well and the glossary is short and clear.
A simple measurement of information that I use is: is it first hand information? Reader's might have seen Mark's appearance on MacBreak Studio, an HD-podcast show, which will have answered this question already.
The examples reach from nicely done broadcast scenes to a discussion of a VFX shot from the feature film "Traitor", which creates a nice mixture of content -- a balance that Mark Spencer understands how to keep, as well, in this particular ratio between images and text.
All in all, it is well structured, easy to dive right into the adventure of Motion4, as well as for the daily support of one's work. (Well, you might be like me and miss having the printed manuals a lot; Mark's book eases one out of that very nicely.)
