The Animator's Survival Kit: Runs, Jumps and Skips

From Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit comes key chapters in mini form.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Animator's Survival Kit is the essential tool for animators. However, sometimes you don't want to carry the hefty expanded edition around with you to your college or studio if you're working on just one aspect of it that day. The Animation Minis take some of the most essential chapters and make them available in smaller, lightweight, handbag/backpack-sized versions. Easy to carry. Easy to study.

This Mini focuses on Runs, Jumps, and Skips. As with Walks, the way we run shows our character and personality. A lazy, heavy person is going to run very differently to an athletic ten-year-old girl. Richard Williams demonstrates howβ€”when you're doing a walk and you take both legs off the ground at the same time and for just one frameβ€”a walk becomes a run. So, all the things we do with walks, we can do with runs.

This Mini presents a collection of Williams' runs, jumps, and skips inspired by some of the cleverest artists from the Golden Age of Animation.
