- A couple more words on animation books...
-
- The Kodak "World of Animation" book has plans for an amazingly
- versatile animation stand in it that anybody with a little
- time, floor space and is good with 2x4 lumber can build.
-
- "Cartoon Animation For Everyone" by Alan Cleave - 1977 Fountain Press
- a good handbook for beginners with info on equipment, technique, etc.
- geared toward Super-8 production.
-
- "Handbook of Animation Technique" by Eli Levitan - 1979 Van Nostrand
- Reinhold Company - Somewhat technical, but well written from the aspect
- of a commercial animator's perspective (all the examples are from old
- television commercials) Covers motion, timing, sound, effects, etc. A
- very complete book.
-
- "Technique of Special Effects Cinematography" - Ray Fielding - 1968
- Hastings House, do know there is a newer edition from the 80's
- Not really an animation book, per se, but covers all manner of
- image manipulation such as matte painting, optical printing, etc.
- The ONE book one must read if you want to get to ILM.
-
- "Cinemagic" magazine - Back issues available thru Starlog Publishing,
- I do have all of them, even the one's all the way back before
- Starlog took over (the Dohler Days) has some good articles on
- cel and stop motion animation, armature fabrication, makeup,
- lighting, etc. If anyone has a specific topical concern, let
- me know and I can copy articles for you out of these issues.
