If ever there was the ultimate textbook for animation, this is it.

Kit Laybourne's digital revision to The Animation Book brings you to the cutting edge of animation technology. Richly illustrated with frame-grabs, production stills, and diagrams, this volume shares Kit's infectious enthusiasm for the limitless possibilities of today's hybrid techniques, and it provides beginning animators with all the information they need to jump in and start their own animation projects.

Highly reccomended This animation book is the food equivalent of Thanksgiving at a pot-luck, or a buffet. I can sample one bite of everything, end up so full I can't walk.

Sort of like going to the video store and reading the captions, but not actually watching the movie, just get an idea for what movie you want to see. Anyway, I really like it and look forward to . Mark said animation book. good book but obsolete in technology. The book tells you different methods of making animation besides traditional animation. One the materials they used aren't even on the market no more. Still, the contains a lot of education for alternative method for producing animation.. Just What I Needed Steve2174 I once owned the original 1979 edition of this book and missed it for a while. I had been wanting the more modern version of this book anyway. Although it was printed in 1998, it still is relevant. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn the basics of animation drawing, at least. Outdated, but still good. That is why I love this book. Thanks for letting me share.
