This thread is been dead for quite a while. Well, its time to bring it back to life.

I just received my copies from Amazon:

Digital Compositing for Film and Video by Steve Wright
CD included with lots of images that can be keyed (No movie files, though)

The Art & Science of Digital Compositing by Ron Brinkmann
CD included with lots of images that can be keyed (No movie files, though)

I'll read through them in a couple of days
