About
the Book:
From the Academy Award-winning animator behind Who Framed Roger
Rabbit? comes the definitive how-to book on animation.
This is the one book every animator should have on their desk –
whether you work in film, computer graphics or video game animation.
Richard Williams was the pre-eminent figure in motion picture
animation, and he has forged a reputation as an outstanding teacher
as well as a top practitioner. In recent years, the Academy Award for
animation effects has been virtually guaranteed to go to a student of
Richard Williams, whether the movie in question is Toy
Story or Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
The Animator's Survival Kit is based on master-classes
Richard Williams gave to professional and would-be animators
around the world over the years. Companies such as Industrial Light
and Magic, Disney, and Dreamworks sent their animators to study at
Richard Williams' feet as he is generally regarded as the link
between the Golden Age of Disney animation and the new-style
computer animation exemplified by Toy Story.
What people say:
"Williams is miles ahead of
anyone in the world of animation." — New York Times
