By Parka HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Length: 0:16 Mins
This book is like a pass that will give you access to a tour in an animation studio. The tour guide here is Don Hahn, who has been in the animation industry for years, directing some popular movies like The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, etc.

Don Hahn brings us down to the production floor, visiting every department, talking about the people and their role in movie production. You may have seen many making-of videos from DVDs but this book is the one stop source to the introduction to animation.

The book introduces the process of animation from idea creation to the ending post production work. It looks at three forms of animation that exist today and talks about how they are created. They are the computer-generated, 2D hand-drawn and stop-motion production.

Included concept art, sketches, set photos, sculptures, storyboards, 3D renders and some discarded ideas are included. This is like walking along studio corridors looking at all the art pinned on the boards.

The roles and responsibilities of every crew working on the film is explained. In a sort of way, it's also a guide to finding what kind of jobs are available in the animation industry. For the longest time, I've been trying to find out what a clean-up artist does and now I know, which is to "clean up" characters making sure they are consistent in style.

For people interested in the animation industry or how animated movies are made, this book provides a very good introductory background.

There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

Great book with amazing art work examples from Pixar, Disney and other studio's archives, some never printed before. It explains the process of making three different types of animated films, and gives a good overview of all the departments from Script Writers to VFX. Great for animation students as it shows that even the gods of animation had to learn from somewhere and had their own doubts! Easy and very enjoyable read.

Animation 11 Jan 2011
By Harriet
Format:Paperback
This book is really interesting if you like disney and want to know how it was all made and began. It begins telling you about the very first animation and explains about more recent films and productions. It even has a glossary at the back to explain words that some may not understand. Worth every penny!
