Fxguide

Fxguide began in 1999 as a website to expand on tips, tricks and frequently asked questions arising on the email newsgroup "flame-news," which related to the [compositing] application Discreet Flame.

Initially the focus was on high-end compositing, but the site evolved over the years to encompass visual effects news and training on the web.

It has since been split into the free fxguide website for news and interviews and the membership-based fxphd visual effects training site.

On July 18, 2007, fxguidetv launched as an HD video podcast featuring film-scene reviews and industry coverage as well as interviews.
