Animating a film is very much like making a flip book, where you flip the pages and the figures on them seem to move. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars The I really want to be in animation book, 10 Mar 1998
By A Customer
Shamus Culhane's book is very good if you are a serious about learning the process of animation. It isn't filled with a lot of pretty pictures but it gives one of the best overviews of the entire animation process. It also encourages you to do drawing excercises which are very necessary to becoming an animator. The one minute sketches in particular are very hard for some people to work on if you like making pretty pictures. They might be a good indicator of whether you are suited to doing animation as a career. I wouldn't classify this book for someone who just enjoys animation and is kind of thinking about what it would be like to be an animator. Chuck Amuck and Illusion of life are better for entertainment and pictures. If you are not willing to participate with the book you will not benefit from it though you may enjoy some of the history and learning what goes into a production. However this book is really for someone who really really wants to be an animator. If that describes you than this is one of the better books out there and certainly one of the books you should peruse on your journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT book - if you're serious about animation, 10 Oct 1998
By A Customer
If you want to be an animator, or you're REALLY interrested in the animating process, this book is just what you've been looking for. 'Script to Screen' gives an in-depth look into the workings of an animation studio, along with generous instuctions on bettering your animating techniques. If you want to be an animator - YOU NEED THIS BOOK!

3.0 out of 5 stars Information galore..., 26 Jan 2005
By Mr. Stewart K. Jones "Stu" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book does exactly what it says in the title! Explains the animation process from script to the screen. It has some excellent techniques for you to follow (I highly recommend), but overall, I don't feel as though it is aimed towards the animator, it is more of a hard-fact text.

My main hang-up with this book was the fact that the explanations were long-winded, and most of the more elaborate wording was not really needed.

If you want to see how a traditional studio works, and the various roles available, then pick it up, but, for an animator, I don't think it's needed in your collection.
