A quick and somewhat arbitrary list of books related to the topics of digital compositing and visual effects. They're all books that I'm at least slightly familiar with, but some of them are definitely better than others.
At this point there's really only two application-agnostic books on Digital Compositing that I can recommend - mine and Steve Wright's. Naturally I think you should buy mine first, but Steve's is quite good as well. So just buy 'em both!
Here's a few more related books in no particular order. Someday I'll clean this page up a bit better...
Miscellaneous
Animation
Cinematography
And of course if you want to purchase Shake, the software for which I'm the product designer, feel free to do that here too:
