    An Inspiring Shop Guide To the Real World Of Short Film Production
  

*by F***3 on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2014*

I downloaded the fully-functional 30-day trial of Maya for 64-bit Windows from the Autodesk site (Note: There's no 32-bit trial available and at about 7GB+ it took a good couple of hours to download).The book assumes prior experience with Maya. I'm comfortable with graphics, CAD and imaging software and, after spending a couple of days with Autodesk's downloadable Maya tutorials to get my bearings, I was able to follow along with the book's tutorials quite easily.What I enjoyed most about the book is the way it immersed me in what the author calls the `typical studio pipeline',  vividly giving a sense of the big picture, all the roles and processes - manual as well as digital - that go into a short animated film production.The first four chapters don't really touch on Maya at all but rather define the short film genre, story development concepts including:  storyboarding techniques, key pre-production decisions such as what and how much material to create versus download, how to integrate those resources into Maya, connecting them to controllers and enabling the animation process.This was so much more revealing and interesting than an isolated collection of technical tricks and effects. The book is beautifully illustrated with plenty of screenshots, but it's meant more as a `shop guide' for people who know what they want to do and are looking for direction, rather than a book out to impress readers with the capabilities of Maya per se. I think that big-picture workfow-oriented perspective will keep readers engaged and confident they're going to walk away having learned something new and valuable, regardless of experience level.The later chapters offer more specialized tutorials illustrating rendering, compositing, lighting effects and sound.  The idea is to feel as though you're following along side by side as the author explains his creative decisions in the hope you'll take those lessons and apply them to your own work.Finally, there's a repeating series of fixed question interviews throughout the book with working producers of shorts that give the book's content a grounded, practical feel. This window into the `real world' is certain to inspire anyone looking to get into the field.
