Animation is one of the hottest and most creative areas of film-making today. During his more than fifty years in the business, Richard Williams was one of the true innovators, and served as the link between the golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation successes. In this book, based on his sold-out Animation Masterclass in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that very animator - from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz - needs. Using hundreds of drawings, Williams distills the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that has become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students and fans. This new expanded edition includes more on animal action, invention and realism with sophisticated animation examples ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 0571238343 | | Dimensions | 24 x 3 x 28 cm | | Edition | Main - Revised | | Isbn 10 | 9780571238347 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0571238347 | | Item Weight | 2.08 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 392 pages | | Publication Date | 5 Nov. 2009 | | Publisher | Faber & Faber | ## Images ![The Animator's Survival Kit: A Manual of Methods, Principles and Formulas for Classical, Computer, Games, Stop Motion and Internet Animators - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uK3Ka8wmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential and comprehensive guide for the budding and pro animator! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 July 2023* A truly excellent, comprehensive and easy to follow book for anyone interested in art and animation.Written by one of the chief animators for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", this book is filled with fun anecotes and informative step-by-step breakdowns of the process, showcasing character design, turnarounds, physics and proportions along with helpful chapters on the fiddly subject of perspectives.Whether you're a professional looking for a good reference book, an amatuer looking to upskill or even a complete beginner in search of guidance, this book will not steer you wrong!10/10 Would highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 26 May 2026* It was a present for a relative, he very happy with the information.
