Praise For Inside VFX:

â€œPierre Grage most certainly explains the issues that even a outsider can begin to understand. Grage shines a light on just why and how the movie business and the VFX â€œbusinessâ€ are so royally screwed up. This book, with its statistical analysis and commonsense approach, fully encapsulates the problems. It should be a primer for every student of VFX or animation, a must-read for anyone who works in the industry and, in fact, should be mandatory for every studio executive who might be â€œlooking to put (yet another) VFX studio out of business.â€
SCOTT ROSS â€”Co-Founder of Digital Domain and former CEO of Industrial Light & Magic, Sr VP Lucasfilm Ltd.

"Inside VFX is a must-read for anyone interested in the film and VFX business. The amount of information Pierre Grage uncovers is groundbreaking. This is the one and only book about the film and VFX industry you need to read.â€
MICHAEL PANGRAZIOâ€”Co-Founder of Matte World Digital & Art Director for Weta Digital Ltd.

â€œOver the past 30 years, digital visual effects has changed the art and science of making films. Inside VFX gives you the whole story and itâ€™s brutally honest. A must-read â€“ not only but especially if you are working in the film and VFX industry.â€
KIM DAVIDSON â€”Co-Founder & CEO of Side Effects Software

â€œThis book is an essential read for all artists, to understand how the VFX industry works so we can make a bigger impact and a bigger success within our careers. I thoroughly recommend Inside VFX as an essential resource for all VFX artists to both educate and adapt, to survive the ever changing VFX industryâ€
ALLAN McKAY â€”VFX Supervisor
