Creating 3d Animation

Summary: Excellent--- Saved me from messing up a project!
Review: This book was excellent! It saved me from totally [messing] up a research project on Animation I am doing. Though they only describe how they really make their professional films, and how to do it with stuff like their custom armatures and foam latex, which i had NO WAY to get my hands on, It helped overall.

Summary: You've gotta get this!
Review: This is a great book for anyone interested in 3D animation. There is alot about the history of animation with clay and puppets. Included is info on cameras, lighting, sets, and how to build characters in clay. Learn about movement of characters and see great pictures of Wallace and Gromit being built as well as other short films. Get "Chicken Run Hatching the Movie" book too. You'll love it.

Summary: This is a really good book
Review: This was a great book for people interested in puppet animation. It goes through History, Making models and sets, what camera's are best to use and little hints if you are having lighting problems, keeping puppets standing up e.t.c. If you want to get an animating book this is the one to get.

Review: We spent many thousands of $$ and nearly two years of trial & error to learn what these gentlemen have put into print. Our entire crew studied every photo in detail and we held workshops on what we learned. Yes, we adopted every idea that we had yet to learn. Hats off to our mentors in England!
