Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-23 00:00:00 Chris Sim I recently found this book at a thrift store, and as a budding student of animation, I couldn't pass it up. From a technological standpoint, the book is now somewhat dated (the references to 56k dial-up modems say it all), but the lessons are timeless. The basic principles and techniques of animation have not changed since they were pioneered over a hundred years ago. That's why this book is a valuable part of the library of any student of animation. White gives a wonderful overview of those techniques, as well as an overview of basic film making techniques, in order to help understand what makes animation live and seem real. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the wonderful art form that is animation, particularly traditional animation.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-21 00:00:00 Balazs Szoegi A collection of observation and brain gasses mixed with predictions coming from shallow understanding. Page after page about how there are no investors for mid length animation movie, or how there will always be a market in television for animation. How does that relate to Classical Techniques? What has the pencil to do with the classification of television animation?
