This is a great book and an excellent addition for your VFX library. But as with other O'Reilly books, O'Reilly did not follow through and supply any examples or support footage. I really feel ripped off when in the book O'Reilly states, "Downloadable image files of the examples in this book can be found online at..." and they give this book's website address. But there's nothing posted here! And as another reviewer stated, it would be very helpful to see actual "behind-the-scenes" footage of how you should shoot some of these ideas. Or even better, give us some free stock footage to work with, or some free photos or something! But don't promise "downloadables" and then give us nothing!

    Hi Russ,

    I'm sorry the download files were not made available. We are following up with the editor and author of this book to try to find out what happened. I'll also see what we can do to improve our process around example files.

    Thanks for taking the time to write.

    Regards,
    Sarah
