Writing my first book has been an incredible journey and it couldn't be possible without all the love and support from those around me. First, I would like to thank my family and friends for their patience and help during this time.

Thank you Digital Juice for allowing me to use some fabulous stock footage for the exercise files. They have an incredible collection of content for both Motion and Final Cut to enrich all types of projects. If you like the content used in the exercise files, please visit their website here at: http://www.digitaljuice.com.

Thank you Edward Gajdel for your pictures, Paul Kelly for your graphic files, and Marisa Seguin for your illustrations. Without content creators and collaborators like you, these lesson files would have never been accessible.

I would also like to thank Anne Renehan for giving me my first opportunity to learn Motion, Michael Cianflocca for your review, Jeff Greenberg from www.jgreenbergconsulting.com for your continued inspiration in the video community, feedback and advice, Greg Witz, Jared Kligerman, and Paul Macri at Witz Education who put up with me on a daily basis and who challenge me to produce rich educational content. The whole team at Witz Education truly rocks.
