The Art and Science of Digital Compositing
An older book, the specific science of the compositing math here hasn't changed. If you want to get more into how LUTs, pixels and compositing operations work, this is the book for you.
Because it's older, it'll have references to very outdated compositing software and isn't going to cover things like virtual production. But hey- it'll go over the math.
Basically a best of the best from the main ASC cinematography book. If you want to start messing with cameras, layouts and shot planning in digital.
It's a handy reference to become familiar with what's common practice in the physical space
