Review :
The book is terrific. Beyond being a textbook, it strikes me as being a very rich resource for animators and film-makers ... The material is serious yet highly approachable ... The book is a bargain, especially as an academic text. Intelligently organized and lavishly illustrated, The Fundamentals of Animation is distinguished from most how-to-animate guides for being multidimensional in approach and multivalent in function ... Wells's book teaches its users not only to do, but to think animation. This is a great book, particularly for beginners. I particularly liked that it includes contexts that lead students to explore next steps ... The interviews with animators are also helpful, as they provide another voice and perspective. I really like the layout. The stills are a definite strength. Excellent publication ... really well researched, written and designed ... extremely reader friendly. Very impressed. Seems clear and concise. I think my students will find it very useful and informative. Visually pleasing with bite-sized bits of information. A good introductory text to animation. Very useful tips on creating characters and storylines. Practical tutorials to engage students in practice. Well designed. Very readable language. A superb text covering the animation industry. I particularly appreciated the second half of the text from Chapter 13 covering Alternative Methods.
