This text/reference guide reveals key principles that animation professionals and students at all levels can put to use right away. The principles offered here are intended as a starting point for a deeper understanding of the medium and as a catalyst for forming new ideas about how animation can be made to communicate. Written in a reader-friendly style with original b&w examples, the book covers analogy, caricature, movement, fantasy, and creating a universe, as well as scripts and storyboards, animation film structure, sound, animation techniques, backgrounds, and special effects. Besen has worked in animation for 35 years.
