The Wonder of Special Effects (SFX)


Well, move over Lord of the Rings. Look out, Star Wars. Step aside, King Kong. This book will show you how to create your own Hollywood special effects that are fun to do, and which are sometimes down right funny to watch. They don't require much if anything in the way of special equipment and they don't require a whole lot of investment in time, either. But the small movies you create will impress your family and friends (and yourself) and will probably cause some new creative thinking of your own. (If you come up with some great suggestions, let me know. They just may end up in the next edition of this book!).

Along the way, you'll learn more about Premiere Elements than you ever thought possible. In fact, by learning how to execute these special effects, you'll learn skills that will translate well into your other editing projects that have no apparent special effects purpose to them. This is because while these effects projects take advantage of color and sound techniques for "slight of hand" magic, they utilize the same techniques that you would use to correct the colors in an oversaturated video clip, for example, or to get the colors to match in two clips that were shot under different lighting conditions. By following the instructions in this book, you'll learn to think about timing, splitting clips, matching audio to video, syncing clips, and other concepts that until now you might not have given much though to. These projects will teach you about Premiere Elements in a way that no other book can.
