"Cheat In Photoshop" Book

In our film, Beast Bike Beauty, we made a tombstone within Photoshop and then composited it into the cemetery scene with After Effects. We learned how to create the face of the gravestone from a tutorial in Steve Caplin's terrific book, How to Cheat in Photoshop CS6: The Art of Creating Realistic Photomontages. ISBN: 9780240525921. Highly recommend it.

Here's a first look at Strindberg's Assistant. While the final film still needs a lot of edit work before it's ready for release, we have to say that after two years, we are pleased to finally be able to show a glimpse of what's to come.
