I advise all my animation students to read Ed's amazingly insightful book.</i><br /> - Dave Quesnelle, Professor of Animation, Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning</ul><ul><i>Ed Hooks' Acting for Animators was the first book on the subject and is still the best. His analysis of character motivation and expressing emotion is the difference between animating and just moving furniture.</i><br /> - Gene Hamm, Animation instructor, Academy of Art College, San Francisco</ul><ul><i>Character animators, using pencils and/or pixels, will discover a wealth of information about how to make their characters express empathetic emotions in the revised edition of this book. . . . Highly recommended.</i><br /> - John Canemaker, Animator/Director of Animation, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University</ul><ul><i>If I can't figure out what is wrong with one of my characters, I can pick up Ed's book, scan for just a short while, and come back with my direction.

It explores the connections between thinking and physical action, between thinking and emotion; it provides the steps for an effective character analysis and the dynamics of a scene. Using references to animation and live action, acting principles are highlighted and explained. Plus, the accompanying CD-ROM provides explicit examples, including videoclips of improvs based on the seven essentials of acting and highlights of Rudolph Labans movement theory.</p><p>This revised edition is illustrated by Paul Naas, an animator and director whose work includes film, TV, video games, location-based entertainment, and Internet animation. He was one of the first animator/instructors hired by the Disney Institute.</p> 422770 2 9 2003 Acting for Animators, Revised Edition: A Complete Guide to Performance Animation total:7|5:3|4:2|3:2|2:0|1:0| 7 29 14 0 5 0 false false Wed Nov 04 10:27:53 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 10:27:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 12:11:41 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 12:11:41 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Mar 15 08:29:04 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 08:29:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 24 16:43:12 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 16:43:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 15:01:17 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 15:01:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 10 09:27:03 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 09:27:03 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 14 08:58:26 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 14 08:58:26 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 07 10:07:07 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 10:07:07 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Jul 07 09:38:42 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 09:38:42 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue May 13 18:14:36 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 18:14:36 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Jan 13 13:36:08 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 13:36:08 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 30 17:30:59 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 17:31:02 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Tue Aug 28 11:59:43 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 28 11:59:47 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri Jul 13 17:12:29 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 13 17:12:29 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=433830
