SynopsisThis is the one book every animator should have on their desk - whether they work in film, computer graphics or video game animation. Richard Williams is the pre-eminent figure in motion picture animation, and he has forged a reputation as an outstanding teacher, giving masterclasses to animators across the world, as well as a top practitioner. In recent years, the Academy Award for animation effects has been virtually guaranteed to go to a student of Richard Williams, whether the movie in question is Toy Story or Star Wars: The Phantom Menace ., The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Animation is one of the hottest areas of filmmaking today - and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. During his more than forty years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the link between Disney's golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation exemplified by Toy Story . Perhaps even more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that every animator - from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz - needs. Urging his readers to "invent but be believable," he illustrates his points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that will become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans., Animation is one of the hottest and most creative areas of film-making and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. During his 40 years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators and serves as the link between the golden age of animation by hand and the computer animation successes.

  • Good book for12.00 i paid for it.

    It seems to be inspiring to my 16 year old who has been dreaming of becoming an animator for a while. Was cool to see him relate to the a author's story. He says it has a lot of helpful things in it.

  • Animation is complex, detail oriented, literally drawing by drawing and William's intellectualizes and democratizes that process.

    Only starting it, great writing. Inspiring detail, awesome platform for giving away a gift that's becoming, sadly, lost.

  • For Learning Animation

    Maybe the best book on classic animation. Should be completed with the parallel DVDs for full content.
