Easy Guide
eMotion Studios
To create the illusion of readers literally disappearing into the book, producer Jordan Weill of eMotion Studios shot the bodies and hands of several actors against a green screen, then made effects and edits in Final Cut Pro. Says Weil: “Final Cut Pro is our main editing platform because it has the most flexibility for projects like this. We used it in every aspect of this project, for story-boarding, design mockups, creating animatics, production editorial, and final composite and mastering.”

Christopher Miles/Dillon McCarthy
This show-don’t-tell take on personalization, featuring literal hand-customization of the book, was shot in HD video on a borrowed Canon 5D camera against a borrowed green screen set up in a Sausalito bus stop with what Miles calls “great diffused lighting.” Working on MacBook Pro laptops while rendering in 1080p on a Mac Pro (“handled it beautifully”), they managed to “create storyboards, design elements, conceive narration, model and animate 3D sequences, render 3D, shoot video, act, record narration, composite 3D/video elements, edit and finish” in a week before “hitting the render button and jumping the next plane back to the East Coast."
