Joe Gunn has just released his 4th DVD title "Rigging for FX" . When I think of rigging I generally think of it in relation to a character. But according Joe this is not what this DVD training is focused on. Regarding the content of this product Joe says:

"Learn rigging techniques that are not character related. A generalist's guide to rigging FX such as automating secondary motion. This goes far beyond just setting up simple parent child relationships. This title will take you into the realm of FX related rigging tasks..."
