    One book I read in conjunction with Richard Williams is Eric Goldberg's animation crash course. Eric expands on what Richard teaches you in how to apply technique to a character's personality, and planning an animation based on that character's personality, and is really helping me move forward in my own work.

    Actually, the Preston Blair book is older than that, going back to the early 1950s. I first saw it in 1958 and it was the first animation book I had when I started out. This was largely because there were no others out there at the time.

    The book "Character Animation Crash Course" by Eric Goldberg is excellent! In my opinion, it is more worthy of inclusion on this list than Preston Blaire's book (though Blaire's book would come in at number four for me).

    • @rickhoppelcad
      @rickhoppelcad 4 роки тому

      The book "Character Animation Crash Course" by Eric Goldberg is excellent and even more worthy of being on a "top 3" list than the Preston Blair book. There is a website they provide that goes along with the book with an extensive amount of video material illustrating many of the principles. The link is provided in the book.

  • @lesterknight6584

      Emman Martin While they are focused on 2D, these books can teach principles applicable to 3D, although not all of it will be useful.

    • @larrylovehandle8472
      @larrylovehandle8472 6 років тому

      Honestly 3d doesn't require any skill so don't waste your time or money. The computer basically does all the work for you, you're pretty much just playing a video game.

      Robert Bagley see that's where you're wrong Robert, it might look nice on your shelf, and might impress your friends, but both you and I know that 3d animation requires absolutely no skill of any kind, so the book might as well be in Chinese with photos of pandas for all the good it will do you.

      Yes since the principles of animation is universal no matter what medium you use (stop motion, hand drawn, or 3D animation). They all try create the illusion of movement.

    For me animation survival kit isn’t the best because it’s too much irrelevant detail, bogged down with theory, and, well, Richard Williams is not the best draftsman, his drawings are a little stiff compared to Blair or Disney. Definitely great info but I would start with Blair.
