Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The first edition of The Animation Book, published in 1979, became the authoritative guide to making animated movies. Now, as we enter the twenty-first century, the explosion in computer technology has created a corresponding boom in animation. Using desktop hardware and software, animators can easily produce high-quality, high-artistry animation and mix the aesthetics of traditional cel animation with dazzling 3-D effects. Kit Laybourne's digital revision to The Animation Book brings you to the cutting edge of animation technology. Richly illustrated with frame-grabs, production stills, and diagrams, this volume shares Kit's infectious enthusiasm for the limitless possibilities of today's hybrid techniques, and it provides beginning animators with all the information they need to jump in and start their own animation projects. More advanced animators will find The Animation Book to be an invaluable resource with detailed descriptions of filmmaking gear, computer hardware and software, art supplies, plus Internet and other resources. Using an innovative case-study approach, Kit deconstructs how a range of digital projects were carried out at some of today's hottest animation studios, including Wildbrain, Blue Sky, Protozoa, Fantome, Broderbund, Nicktoons, and Klasky Csupo. These step-by-step studies show how desktop animators can follow the same creative process in their own films. Synopsis:The Animation Book, the most comprehensive guide to the making of animated films, is for everyone who has ever wanted to make a carton or simply learn how it is done. The book's premises are that sophisticated drawing skills are not necessary and that with the proliferation of inexpensive home movie equipment, even the full-color sound cartoon is not beyond the budget of the resourceful amateur.
Synopsis:Revised and updated, this complete guide to the art and science of animation now includes extensive information on the latest computer-generated animation techniques. Illustrated throughout, including graphics from today's cutting-edge studios, THE ANIMATION BOOK is an authoritative reference and standard text in the field.
