Synopsis
Home videographers can create more than 40 fun special effects to make home videos more exciting, design more professional-looking business presentations, or even to produce a low-budget epic. Using only inexpensive, easy-to-find materials and props, this book shows how to simulate the effects used by television and Hollywood pros. Readers can create dramatic weather effects -- such as a hurricane, rainstorm, or earthquake -- using fans, colanders, candles, and even a shaky table. Other fun effects include making a split screen to show two friends talking on the phone, teaching a chair to dance, making a friend disappear or magically changing one person into another, faking an artistic foreign film, and even creating a tropical paradise in a closet!
