Shake Tutorials

The ones that came with the manual are your best ones... (FREE!!)

Then Marco Paolini's book, Shake 4 from Apple Pro Training Series... (not free)

Then: http://library.creativecow.net/tutorials/appleshake (free)

In that order. Good luck,

I love the tutorials from lynda.com

I know they are not free, but it's a great way to learn complex programs like shake, after effects, etc
Really value for money.

You know what? I've never even looked at those. I should.

Thanks for the nudge.

Hope OP sees value in this.

I told you about Lynda months ago and you completely pooh-poohed me. I love Lynda.com. Way, way, way better than a cable/satellite tv subscription.

Not better than TopGear!!!

Everything you should KNOW about video/film is right there. Man, I want a gig on that show!!

CaptM

The BBC TopGear?

Didnt think that would translate well to the US.

But if it is the one you mean - it has amazing editing -

I used to be an assistant on that show...

Chris -

I love that show!! (Yes, bbc's Top Gear).

The humor - the cars - and the LOOK!! I mean, where else would you have a 500k british pound german car, and a super-sonic RAF Jet parked on a runway with a low angle shot of the two and a RABBIT runs across the frame????

Brilliant! BRILLIANT!

Those segment shots are shot on film, yes? Amazing treatment if it's video.

So this show will show me a quick, effective way to think of new layer mask ideas in Photoshop or chroma key procedures within Shake or explain the Dreamweaver interface?

Everything I know about broadcast production I learned from that show.

And NOTHING from Oprah.

Mench I love you just for bringing up Top Gear.

*has 3 more boys for you*

there are all kind of different formats used in that show.

I used to work at the post facility where they onlined it and the whole thing goes through a Baselight - film type Digital Intermediate process.

There is no expense spared tho with that show.

It is a bit of a britsh institution - it was very different a few years ago (more of a magazine show)but now they have revamped it with that aircraft hanger studio element and more of those mad challenges.

If you have chance check out the one where they spend $1000 on a car and drive them across america -its great - buying firebirds with bullet holes in them and south central.... Jeremy Clarkson is the classic brit xenophobe who cant stand that the germans make such good cars- it's hilarious.

"Drive across america"

Yeah -- very funny. Hillary for President painted on the car driving across Alabama.

The 'challenges' is/are getting a bit much.

But thanks for the DI insight.
