VFXWORLD begins its new excerpt series this week with THE MAGIC OF HOUDINI by Will Cunningham from Thompson Course Technology — very timely considering the great strides that have been made lately with the Side Effects software in live-action and animated features. Meanwhile, Tara DiLullo uncovers Zoic’s digital magic in EUREKA, the hot new SCI FI Channel series, and later in the week Alain Bielik takes a look at what’s in store in ZOOM from Digital Domain.
