Even though there are actually more than 12.

Also some STRONGLY suggested reading if you can borrow it, buy it, or what have you... Just make sure you at least read them.
Illusion of Life: By Ollie Johnson & Frank Thomas
The Animator's Survival Kit: by Richard Williams
Character Animation Crash Course: By Eric Goldburg
I have all of these if someone needs to borrow them. I think the Eric Goldberg book is the easiest to dive into as a beginner, and it is the quickest read. I had a lot of trouble getting the gist of the Richard Williams book until I was already animating because it just has so much info it's kind of overwhelming, but now refer to it all the time.
ReplyDeleteDitto on that. If anyone needs to borrow any of them, I have all three as well and can bring them on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteAlso agree that character animation crash course is the most friendly but Animation Survival Kit has a pretty good Ball-bounce.
