Does any one have any tips for working with invisible string, or know of any books that teach how to work with it?

Hi Kemo. Tips would be difficult without knowing what effects you are trying to achieve. Jon Le Clair and Michael Ammar both have dvds on IT and IET :)

Not too sure about Invisible String... but here's some footage of some teens with Invisible Rope.

Here's my tip for working with IT: Don't.

It's fiddly, flimsy and, well, invisible. Impossible. Hate the stuff.

A good reel of pre-stripped IT helps. A lot. I admit, it used to be a living nightmare trying to do anything with IT. Now,with a reel you can see it for what it is. A joy.
Just my opinion :D
