  • Apply the fundamental skills and techniques of action analysis to your animation process, be it traditional hand-drawn animation or digital designs for polished, believable animation. Focused on uniting action analysis principles with contemporary workflows, Chris Webster presents the ultimate resource for analysis, highlighting not only the tried and true techniques of action analysis but the "whys" behind it.
  • Apply the dynamic laws of motion and adapt the techniques for people, animals, and even inorganic elements in motion. Paired with in-depth, colored illustrations, photographs, and live action footage, learn how to develop your artistic eye and break down the subtle intricacies of movement, form, and shape. With detailed case studies and practical examples, Action Analysis for Animators is an essential guide for students, amateurs, and professionals. Extensive illustrations of people and animals in motion that break down the action in a step-by-step manner. Detailed case studies and exercises are illustrated with a mix of line drawings, diagrams, and live action footage; integrating real-world examples and experiences with practical knowledge. Move beyond the printed page with a fully developed companion website: booksite.focalpress.com/companion/9780240812182, which features dynamic short animations and live action examples juxtaposed with stills of animals and humans in motion, all utilized as references in the concepts of the book.
