Product Description

Review

"As Disney Animation great Ollie Johnston always told me, "It's not the tools that create great character animation, it's what you do with those tools." Eric's book is a terrific how-to that clearly explains the tools and the techniques for great animation in any medium. People always ask me, "How do I get started in animation?" Now I know the answer...read the Character Animation Crash Course book by Eric Goldberg!" -- John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios "Eric's book and CD are a first in the industry. They represent a one-of-a-kind bible for artists, teachers and fans of animation from one of the modern masters of the craft." -- Don Hahn< Producer, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast "I can't think of anyone more qualified to put together a book like this. Eric covers everything, from basic nuts and bolts to advanced technique in a clear, simple, entertaining way, just like his animation. This should be on the bookshelf of anyone who wants to know more about this elusive art form." -- Ron Clements, Director, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules

Product Description

This title includes a book and CD. This book is a veritable Genie's lamp filled with everything the aspiring animator could wish for! Renowned animator Eric Goldberg's detailed text and drawings illuminate how to conceive characters 'from the inside out' to create strong personalities. Classic animation techniques are analyzed and brought to life through this unique book and its accompanying CD that offers readers animated movie examples that show, in real time or frame-by-frame, the author's principles at work. Add to this Goldberg's discussions of classic cartoons and his witty, informative observations based on the wealth of knowledge he's gained during his 30-plus years in professional animation, and you have a tour-de-force guide to character animation with the classic touch. It includes a CD of animated movie files.

Mr. M. J. Moore (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Character Animation Crash Course! (Paperback)
I see this book as something which will either make something click in your head or you could just not see the gold in front of your eyes and treat it like just another how to book on the shelf.

If you are looking for some clear examples of what makes fun, fluid and organic motion, this book will help no end.

This is an excellent book, full of practical advice for animators and students of animation. Eric Goldberg is one of the finest animators working anywhere in the world - his advice on character poses and timing is especially useful. Buy this book and learn from a master.
