Detailed description:​

The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Animation is one of the hottest areas of filmmaking today–and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. During his fifty years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the link between Disney’s golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation exemplified by Toy Story.

Perhaps even more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that every animator–from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz –needs. Urging his readers to “invent but be believable,” he illustrates his points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that will become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans.

  1. blake

    This book has everything animators, beginning or experienced, need! Mostly pictures and tips inside not just text. Worth it

  2. Maya

    The go-to book for learning animation and for animation reference, great print quality, lots of information, and beautiful drawings. Get the Extended Edition, as that one has even more information (about 382 pages), which is fantastic! Highly recommended!

  3. Just what I expected

    Amazing book for animators and illustrators.

  4. Krisha Bartlett

    I can’t believe how inexpensive this book is when you consider the sheer amount of information it provides. If you animate just buy it!

  5. Just what I expected

    learned more from this than my college animation course

  6. Donny Brown

    This product really provides helpful information for animators like myself. The steps and techniques are very helpful and useful for creating a run, skip, or walk cycle.

     Qualquer pessoa que esteja remotamente envolvida com animação já poderá aprender alguma coisa com esse livro, não importa o nível de habilidade. Ele ensina coisas básicas, avançadas e dá um pouco de contexto na história de Richard Williams, ou seja, está completíssimo.
    A única coisa que eu gostaria de comentar negativamente é que ele veio danificado, e isso ficou aparente na parte de baixo de todas as páginas. Ficaria tudo perfeito se ele fosse embalado com um pouco mais de carinho. :,)

    Great book and definitely needed when studying animation. I’m in my masters for animation right now and it’s been extremely helpful. Even if you aren’t going to school and want to learn how to animate on your own time I highly recommend.

    The reason this gets a 4 starts is.. and To be expected of a paper cover that it will bend really easily. But I found the cover bends way more than a normal paperback.

    I don’t know if they make this hardcover but wish I had gotten it that way if they did.

    Als Illustratorin liebe ich “The Animator’s Survival Kit” von Richard Williams. Dieses Buch ist eine wahre Fundgrube an Wissen und Inspiration. Es bietet eine umfassende Anleitung zu den Methoden, Prinzipien und Formen der Animation, die sowohl für Anfänger als auch für erfahrene Animatoren wertvoll ist.

    Richard Williams, der für seine Arbeit an “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” bekannt ist, teilt in diesem Buch seine jahrzehntelange Erfahrung und Expertise. Die zahlreichen Illustrationen und praktischen Tipps machen es leicht, die Konzepte zu verstehen und anzuwenden. Besonders schätze ich die detaillierten Erklärungen zu Bewegungsabläufen und Charakteranimationen.

    Dieses Buch ist für mich eine unerschöpfliche Quelle der Inspiration und hat mir geholfen, meine Fähigkeiten als Illustratorin weiterzuentwickeln. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, der sich für Animation interessiert oder in diesem Bereich arbeiten möchte.

    Lo conseguí para obsequiarlo y la persona quedó satisfecha.
    Como comentario, el embalaje en el que me lo dieron fue algo deficiente. El libro es de pasta blanda y se dañó un poquito de las esquinas.
