Customer Reviews

Great Overview of Methodology!

This is a good book for looking over different types of animation methodology. The best section by far in this book is the one on stop motion animation. It showed the step by step building of two stop motion characters using two different types of joints. It included suggested tools you should use in building your character. It also included the pro's and cons of different types of set construction. Also included in this section was how to set up the studio for filming. The type of camera lense you should use. The visual effect different types of lenses would have on your scene. The cool thing about all this detail was that it was not drawn they showed actual full color photographs!

Good for quick referance

This book is good for a starter to know the animation how is work

The Nuts and Bolts, the Squash and Stretch!

Richard Taylor approaches animation like the BEST do-it-yourself guides do... beautiful, clear illustrations of the nuts and bolts as well as the squash and stretch. Wish this had been MY textbook at animation school.
