Review :
"Finally! A forthright approach to a complex art form. An inspired text that fuses an essential understanding of fundamental traditional methods and technology". --Rita Osei, Animation & Graphics Producer, Cartoon Network, on Character Animation "A remarkable book that actually makes animation easy to understand." --Oscar-winning animation director Bob Godfrey on Character Animation "It was surely a matter of time before a publication like this emerged. An understanding of basic animation principles is often overlooked in 3D computer animation. This book will do much to put that right; it is an essential source of knowledge, which will enable 2D and 3D animators to understand each other's purpose." --Oscar winning animation director Daniel Greaves of Tandem Films on Character Animation "A fantastic, comprehensive, but above all practical guide to character animation. The well-pitched progressive exercises at the core of this book make it a must have for all serious animation wannabes." --Andrew Lindsay, Senior Animator, Lionhead Studios. on Character Animation
