I just recently found this book online and requested it into the library. Thankfully they did buy it in and it is really interesting. The book is a very technical book on many processes used within the VFX industry, however there is a lot of theory as well. As this is the most recent in-depth book I've been able to find, I finally have some research about TV rather than just Hollywood film. Some of the key quotes I have used so far are:
“Visual effects are like magic tricks - the magic only works when the trick is hidden. It is of course the responsibility of the VFX team to create the perfect magic, but it is also the responsibility of the filmmaker not to overindulge in the use of this magic.”
"Television is now on par with movies in terms of quality of content (some say even better, at least in the USA). And as far as visual quality goes, the gap between TV and film has narrowed down considerably. Most home TVs are now HD resolution (or higher), and the same digital cameras are now used to shoot TV and cinema. The level of complexity and the quantity of visual effects in TV programs has increased significantly, with TV series such as HBO’s Game of Thrones pushing the quality bar ever higher."
