Description From Academy Award-winning animator Richard Williams comes this compact, portable mini guide — a focused extract from his legendary Animator's Survival Kit. Designed for animators on the go, this handy volume covers one of the most dynamic and expressive areas of character animation: runs, jumps, and skips. The way we run reveals character and personality — a lazy, heavy person moves very differently from an athletic ten-year-old girl. Amazon Williams breaks down exactly how a walk becomes a run, and presents a rich collection of movements inspired by the greatest artists of the Golden Age of Animation. Lightweight enough to carry to class or the studio, this mini is an essential on-the-spot reference for students and professionals alike.
