Best for Beginners - and Beyond, 28. Juli 2000

Agreeing with all the great things previously said about this book, I can only add that "The Animator's Workbook" is the best book suited for artists just starting out in animation. It is thorough, practical and motivating, without being intimidating. If you know anybody - young or old - who wants to get into animation but does not know where to start, studying "The Animator's Workbook" is a great beginning.

This is the book that all animator's should buy. It contains all the valuable information. Step by step of classical animation. With the using for the drawing boards, and principles of animations. If you are hesitating, don't! Just buy it and you will love this book. I bet!

       fast and easy way to learn animation techniques, 2. Februar 2000

With this book you can learn animation techniques the easy way.It has cute, easy-to-understand pictures of movements, facial expressions etc. The book is real good as an add-on or if you already know the basics of animation.

       Well worth it!, 24. Dezember 1998

I won't gloss over what's already been said about this book, but the chapter on special effect animation alone is worth the price many times over

       A bible for the animator, 19. Oktober 1998

This book is one of the best all round books used to learn animation techniques; a perfect text for teachers. Animation techniques are illuminated from squash and stretch, to stop action puppet, to cell painting. Included is a great reference section for finding unique materials and building your own animation stand. This is more than a simple how to do manual. It is a companion to any future artist animator for it opens the reader to the sophisticated path of animation as tool articulate movements rather than simply as a squash and stretch manipulator of cartoon characters.
