Animation is one of the most creative and exciting areas of film making today, but if you're new to the subject, where do you start?

This book, in a clearly structured coursebook format, covers everything from the start of storytelling to cel, stop action and 3D computer- generated animations.

There are carefully-chosen case studies at the end of each section.

Richly illustrated with stills and artwork, here is an invaluable resource for beginners and professionals as well as anyone responsible for commissioning animations.

‘A good overview of how to create animation: the scope is broad, the illustrations are inspiring and the case studies display a “can-do” attitude’
