Animator's Guide to 2D Computer Animation

A practical introduction to working with computer animation systems. The book is written by an animation professional who has an in-depth knowledge of the leading software: Animo and Toonz. Hedley Griffin writes in a simple way that guides the reader through each technique in a step-by-step manner. An introductory chapter demonstrates how to achieve different animation styles on the computer as well as fundamentals such as storyboarding, the preparation of drawings and scanning issues. Practical tutorials then take you step-by-step through the essential techniques, with illustrations to show you how it's done. A CD-ROM at the back of the book includes colour examples and animation movie clips of the techniques described in the book.
