Classic animation techniques are analyzed and brought to life through this unique book and its accompanying CD that offers readers animated movie examples that show, in real time or frame-by-frame, the author’s principles at work. Add to this Goldberg’s discussions of classic cartoons and his witty, informative observations based on the wealth of knowledge he’s gained during his 30-plus years in professional animation, and you have a tour-de-force guide to character animation with the classic touch." With a foreword by Brad Bird – Writer/Director of Ratatouille, The Incredibles, and The Iron Giant. “As Disney Animation great Ollie Johnston always told me, “It’s not the tools that create great character animation, it’s what you do with those tools.” Eric’s book is a terrific how-to that clearly explains the tools and the techniques for great animation in any medium. People always ask me, “How do I get started in animation?” Now I know the answer…read the Character Animation Crash Course book by Eric Goldberg!” John Lasseter – Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios “This exhaustive “animation crash course” comes from one of the best and most original of animators working today, Eric Goldberg.
