Very Helpful

I have been looking for a book on this subject that explains the technical details behind visual special effects. This book described techniques used to make special effects for Television and movies. The book describes techniques such as morphing photos, blending surfaces together smoothly and making complex scenes that contain many effects all at the same time.
