The Animator's Eye: Adding Life to Animation with Timing, Layout, Design, Color and Sound

nice book 2 know more about how animation is done & characters are created innovatively..,nice book to add ur collection.,

Brilliant book with the whole animation process - each chapter a progressive stage. Nice touch is the cell type drawings on the right ended of the page - flip the pages & you see the project animated!!! Bought for my daughter’s university course! Highly recommend this book to any animations students!!!!

Il testo era di mia conoscenza ed era quello che stavo cercando per cui non vi erano presupposti per strane sorprese

Ein Vollblut Animator und Storyboarder. Kann dieses Buch nur jedem empfehelen der sich für Trickfilm, Comic bzw. allgemein für Storytelling interessiert.

This is a really great book. I am glad that I have added it to my library.This book is unlike any other that I have seen. The author/artist, Francis Glebas, walks you through everything, and I mean EVERYTHING on the journey to creating an animated short.Want to know what an animatic is? It's in the book. Want to see how to execute emotion in your drawings? It's in the book. From creating thumbnails to storyboards, character design to putting it all together in production, it's all in the book.PLUS, a dvd is included. On the dvd is the finished ANIMATOR'S EYE animated short. Also included is the animatic of the short. The really neat thing is you can watch the special movie that includes the finished short and animatic combined, so you can see how the finished movie evolved form rough drawings to completed work.This book contains a wealth of information, along with some fun stuff, too. The margins of the right hand pages are flip books of the some animated scenes. Very clever!I heartily recommend this book, and look forward to reading it again and again to help me with my profession as an animator and cartoonist.

First of all, the book is a lot bigger than I thought. It just sticks out on my bookshelf lol, but I'm fine with it because I really love the flipbook section; it's really cute :P. Anyway, this is a great animation book for anyone interested to learn more about animation. I have this book and the Character Animation Crash Course by Eric Goldberg, and I find both books very helpful. Goldberg's book teaches something Glebas doesn't teach (more technical), and Glebas teaches something Goldberg doesn't. But I have to say I learned more from the Animator's eyes because the author covers stuff like storyboarding, adding color and sound which no other animation books cover. If you already have the animator's survival kit, you don't really need character animation crash course because they are more or less the same. The Animator's Eye is different though, you will totally learn something new from it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to further his or her knowledge about animation.
