Description

The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator at the back of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Animation is one of the most up to date areas of filmmaking today–and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. All through his fifty years in the business, Williams has been probably the most 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 in order that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in america 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 with a purpose to create a book so they can develop into the usual work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans.
