Product Description

Review

"MacLean's insightful volume about the history of layout is one of the must-have animations books...Offering excellent interviews with some of the biggest names in tha business, interspersed with lots of previously unpublished art from the vaults of Disney, Pixar and Warner Bros., the book offers a solid overview of the importance of layout in all types of animation. " -Animation Magazine

Product Description

The first of its kind, this comprehensive look at the art of 'Animation Layout' takes readers on a tour through this essential and beautiful, but often forgotten, art form, from animation's earliest pioneers through to the digital world of video games and contemporary cinema. It features never-before-seen art from major studios' archives and interviews with the biggest names in animation.

The book is simply the most extensively researched tome of knowledge you could hope for on animation layout. Seasoned professionals and aspiring students will garner insight into a subject that no other work comes as close to explaining as thoroughly in my opinion, while Maclean's writing style makes for the whole experience to be very easy and enjoyable. With a bountiful collection of examples from the world of animation that we all know and love, i found myself going over and over the pages trying to absorb it all. It now fits snuggly along with my Art of Pixar books ready to be referenced and studied and shown to my fellow illustrators. I would recommend it along with the 'Animator's Survival Kit' by Richard E. Williams (Equally essential reading in my opinion)
