If you need a fun,hands-on introduction to core animation techniques – then look no further! Heather Freeman guides you through a wide range of practical projects,helping you establish and build skills in narrative animation,motion graphics and visual effects.
Each chapter begins by summarizing historical and theoretical concerns and connecting them with current practice and applications – all beautifully illustrated with stills from classic commercial and independent films,as well as contemporary examples from student work. Having established this context,the remainder of the chapter focuses on walking readers through their own creative projects.
