Hi,

I've got some interesting news in this week's newsletter, including an exclusive sneak look at a new rotoscoping tutorial for Mocha & After Effects and the start of our store's "Price Rollercoaster". I'll only send out newsletters when there's something interesting to report - and as we're working full tilt on the new DVD training and changes to the site, things may go a bit quiet for a while. So let's get to the good stuff!

Sneak Peak at New Roto Tutorial

Ben has created a new Mocha tutorial showing how to speed up your roto work using procedural mattes. If that sounds scary, then you'll be shocked at how much time you can save in rotoscoping by not rotoscoping.

In this tutorial you will see:

• Completely cut out a full figure from a background
• How to keep in fine hair detail in a complex shot
• Using After Effects mattes in Mocha
• Choosing how many mask shapes and tracking shapes to use
• Exporting masks and making changes using mochaShape

This is an advanced tutorial broken into simple steps. This is a full 30 minute exercise, and it leads me on to...

Cut & Shut : Paint & Roto Power Techniques in Mocha and mochaShape

I mentioned this in the last newsletter and the response has been great. We've started development on this, and it's looking like a great course. We're still looking for feedback though, so if you're interested in this then click the link below. If you've got a specific topic or problem that you'd like to see addressed let us know. It might make it into the final course.

Starting the Price Rollercoaster

First the bad news. Some of our product prices are going up.

The good news is that we're dropping the prices significantly for the next three days before we implement the changes. And even better, for all those you purchased in the past week, I've sent you a further discount voucher, to say thank you. We're even dropping prices on products that won't be going up later, like Film Wash Color Effects Vol. 3.

So visit the web store for instant discount downloads of all our products.
