<br/><br/> "This manual is a complete guide to the aesthetics of stop-motion animation. Information is presented in the order an animator uses in setting up and executing a scene. The first half concentrates on the aesthetics of lighting and cameras. The second half deals with the process of performance art. Commentaries on body language, facial expression, gesture, movement and emotion - key concepts exemplified through the acting process - are included, along with an introduction to narrative form and a glossary."--BOOK JACKET.
