Clear step-by-step instructions accompany photographs and diagrams designed to guide the reader through each step of the process. There is a chapter on basic editing techniques which demonstrates how to twin visually exciting sequences with music and titles to create a show reel of work.

It is an excellent book, but a word of caution. The two titles that Amazon are offering above are the same book! one is the English version, the other is the US version. , so dont buy both......

Well, I bought a lot of books to start exploring the world of animation.Among all the books the most captivating and eye catching was this one.But inside it , it gets even better.It shows all the animation techniques, very well explained, with photos and tips and step by step advice how to put everything in practice.The best part was how to make my own puppet.It amazed me how close the author was to a beginner's thoughts such as 'I wannt something cheap and practical for a start'.I think that it must be the first book someone has to read.Then he/she must proceed to something more complicated ,to learn to manage a software because intructions on how to use a particular software in the book are not written.Well, I read it in just two days and I am not even an English-speaking person!!!:)
