Book Overview
Packed with illustrations that illuminate and a text that entertains and informs, this book explains the methods and techniques of animation preproduction with a focus on story development and character design. Story is the most important part of an animated film-and this book delivers clear direction on how animators can create characters and stories that have originality and appeal. Learn how the animation storyboard differs from live action boards and how characters must be developed simultaneously with the story. Positive and negative examples of storyboard and character design are presented and analyzed to demonstrate successful problem-solving techniques. Artwork from an international array of students and professionals supplement the author's own illustrations. Three never-before-published interviews with well known development artists and a comprehensive glossary are also included.

great animation book
Published by Peggy Hunt , 5 years ago
Nancy explains how to create a good story and thoroughly provides examples of what makes a story good and what does not. This book is great for animators who want a quick explanation about storyboards, beat boards, etc! it's also very fun and easy to understand so finishing this book will not take too long!
