N2  - "A core text for all animation students, written by the leading animation author in the UK, The Fundamentals of Animation covers all the course topics taught at degree level. In the first section of the book the key principles and processes involved in animation are discussed: from finding and researching a concept, through the preparation and techniques used, to the execution of the work. Each stage is carefully detailed, and the new, accessible, and affordable technologies liberating the creative process are included. The second part of the book explores the links animation has to the styles and narratives of popular culture, aligning theory and ideas to a variety of processes and practices by analysing previous work and by studying current student and commercial work. A practical section at the end deals with career paths, portfolios and the structure of the creative industries, invaluable for any aspiring professional. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET
