There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
it the how and the why. I feel some of the information is redundant, and without the behind the scene visuals
it unlikely that a creative person can get much use out of the book...its a pretty good attempt to discussions
on the animated process, but it sort of "Misses the Mark'. :(
in animation.

It is a must have resource which has a lifetime value and will be used again and again.
The process of planning the shot and its moving components is easy to forget when it doesn't translate into a single tangible thing in the final product. Yet, Without layout the final product wouldn't look like itself at all.
That's a very shallow description of it but where my review falls short this excellent book will cover everything you need to know.
If you want to work in the animation world this book should be a must on your library!
