Richard Williams-The Animators Survival Kit

理查德 威廉姆斯 - 动画师生存工具包

The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator behind

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Animation  is one of the hottest areas of filmmaking today--and the master  animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams.  During his more than forty years in the business, Williams has been one  of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the  link between Disney's golden age of animation by hand and the new  computer animation exemplified by

Toy Story

.

Perhaps even  more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his  knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could  push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out  master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides  the underlying principles of animation that every animator--from  beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz --needs.  Urging his readers to "invent but be believable," he illustrates his  points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters  into a working system in order to create a book that will become the  standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and  fans.
