 Great Overview of Methodology! April 30, 2000
Gail Willis (Baltimore, MD USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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!
The Nuts and Bolts, the Squash and Stretch! October 19, 1998

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.

 Good book but lacking June 7, 2003

This book is very imformative and educational but I don't recommend this as an animation handbook. It offers very helpful hints and displays various animation styles. I don't think it will teach you much on how to animate. More like a reference and animation library than a how to book. Great read and somewhat obsolete.
Concise and Diverse December 11, 1999

The book is concise and covers the entire spectrum of animation. It is consistent with others in the Encyclopedia of Art Series. For animation students it is a good introductory book, but you will find yourself needing more information soon.
