Frame-By-Frame Stop Motion: The Guide to Non-Traditional Animation Techniques

by Tom Gasek

In a world that is dominated by computer images, alternative stop motion techniques like pixilation, time-lapse photography and down-shooting techniques combined with new technologies offer a new, tangible and exciting approach to animation. With over 25 years professional experience, industry veteran, Tom Gasek presents a comprehensive guide to stop motion animation without the focus on puppetry or model animation. With tips, tricks and hands-on exercises, Frame by Frame will help both experienced and novice filmmakers get the most effective results from this underutilized branch of animation. Practical insight and inspiration from leading filmmakers like PES (Western Spaghetti Creator, Time Magazine's #2 Viral Video of 2008), Dave Borthwick, of the Bolex Brothers and more! The accompanying website will include further content driven examples, indexes of stop motion software, a recommended film list and tools and resources for the beginner and intermediate stop motion artist, animators and filmmakers.

[Javier Muñoz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Muy buen libro que se enfoca en el lado práctico de la animación fotograma a fotograma, pixilation (animación con modelos humanos), stop motion, time-lapse, fundamentos de la animación, técnicas y trucos...

Imprescindible para los interesados en ver que hay más allá de Wallace y Groomit y para los que quieran hacer sus pinitos en la animación de objetos reales. Es relativamente corto y va al grano.
