Animated Performance

Description

Animated Performance shows how a character can seemingly 'come to life' when their movements reflect the emotional or narrative context of their situation: when they start to 'perform'.

The many tips, examples, and exercises from a veteran of the animation industry will help readers harness the flexibility of animation to portray a limitless variety of characters and ensure that no two performances are ever alike. More than 300 colour illustrations demonstrate how animal and fantasy characters can live and move without losing their non-human qualities.

Interviews with Disney animators Art Babbitt, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and Ellen Woodbury provide a unique insight into bringing a whole world of characters to life.

New to the second edition: A new chapter with introductory exercises to introduce beginner animators to the world of animated acting; dozens of new assignments and examples focusing on designing and animating fantasy and animal characters.
