Description

To make great animation, You wish to have to know how to regulate a whole world: how to make a character, how to make that character live and be happy or sad. You wish to have to create four walls around them, a landscape, the sun and moon – a whole life for them. It’s important to get inside that puppet and first make it live, then make it perform.

Susannah Shaw provides the first in point of fact practical introduction to the craft skills of model animation. It is a vital book in the development of model animation which, following the success of Aardman’s first full-length film, Chicken Run, is now at the vanguard of modern animation.

Illustrated in full colour all the way through you are shown step-by-step how to create successful model animation. Starting with some basic exercises, you are going to learn about developing a story, making models, creating set and props, the mechanics of movement, filming, postproduction and how to set about finding that elusive first job in a modern studio.

Susannah Shaw is Programme Development Manager for the Animated Exeter festival. She used to be head of the Bristol Animation Course from 1996 to 2000 at the University of the West of England and former camera assistant at Aardman (working on ‘A Close Shave’ among other films).
