This is THE After Effects book, recently updated to include After Effects CS3.  Many thanks to 

Chris & Trish Meyer for including one of our images in this edition.

Everything you ever wanted to know about high dynamic  range imaging, including detailed explanations of the  various 32-bit image formats.

After Effects in Production - is the companion volume to their motion graphics book. Not another text book, this one is filled with a wealth of practical knowledge.

The newest book on HDRI from Christian Bloch.

His site is filled with helpul information on the creation and application of 32-bit imaging in the real world.

Theory meets practice, and loses.  The best book on do-it-yourself filmmaking, or how to get champagne quality on a beer budget. Thanks, Stu.

Second only to the Meyers′ books, this is a

save-your-project-from-doom at 3am kind of book.

Really.

Another book of useful After Effects tips and tricks

Shameless self-promotion.

We wrote the high dynamic range imaging section and the multi-pass rendering for After Effects Tutorial.
