The Encyclopedia of Animation Techniques
by Richard Taylor
This is also an excellent book.
If you have any interest in any form of animation - be it traditional painted
cel, stop-motion, clay-mation, cut-outs, pixelation, CGI, etc - this book
explains all of them.
It also explains the entire procedure that goes into making an animation - from
the rough idea through the script, character designs, background designs,
storyboards, camera control, audio control, etc to the finished product.
It's a very well presented book with masses of colour reproductions and
excellent diagrams.
The Amiga connection? well, apart from being able to use this book to do stuff
in Dpaint, or to digitise stop-motion stuff, or the 3-D computer animation -
there is also a section about Ruth Lingford and the animations she did for
Channel4.
It really is an excellent, colourful and easily accessable book about all you
wanted to know about animation. It's a good introdution to the subject which
should lead more interested readers to read more detailed books on the art form.
Here's what Amazon.com had to say about it:
