Book Description
Shamus Culhane, the animator who made the dwarfs in Snow White, achieves something few are able to: He makes it possible to learn a concrete skill from a book. Covering every aspect of film animation, from basic mechanics to giving creativity full play, and including writing, recording, acting, dialogue-even how to mange an animation studio of one's own, Culhane fulfills the promise of his title-"from script to screen."Animation contains more than 130 illustrations, from the work of leading animators worldwide (including the author himself) to sketches that teach and graphic exercises for hands-on experience for the novice.

5 reasons to buy this book.......2006-12-20
this book would great if they would updat it. However, it's a must have for anyone starting out in animation. I have a few reasons why I think this book is great.
1. it's an easy read. Some writer's try to make animation more complicated by writing boring and complicated books. Half the time you don't understand their point. This book however got to the point in a clear and enjoyable way.
2. He puts exercises throughout the book to make you apart of the learning experience. You not only get the information, but you apply it right away. so when you get to your own projects, you've already done half the battle of exploring and experimenting with rough work. You can make mistakes with his exercises rather than big mistakes on your own projects. You can start out your own projects with a more polished style.
3. For less than $15 you can learn what they teach you in an animation class. Unless you need the credit for school, save your money and start with this book.
4. Great, Great book for the beginner.
5. Overall it's worth the money. I will refer to this guide often as I continue to learn and work in animation.
MUST OWN!.......2006-01-16
This book tells you everything you need to know about animation business and techniques and EVERYTHING. It has wonderful excercises and if you want to be in this business, you MUST not only read it, but have it on your bookshelf for good. BUY IT!
Pretty old, altough a must-have.......2005-07-20
I bought 3 books from amazon in order for research for my upcoming animation production.
For a classic, traditional 2D animation its pretty good, and has also HELPFUL tips for Animators-block, wich I hasent found anywere else. Altough its NOT covering DIGITAL PAINT, and talks only about Cel's, the old way to shot and colorize frames. Today NO ONE is using this techince, NO ONE (exept for Ed, Edd n' Eddy series).
So if you don't wish to work on the Ed Edd n' Eddy production, you better buy this book with the new digial edition of "The Animation Book". Not forgetting the MUST HAVE "The Animator survival kit". At least that was I had done. (And had cost me 75$ for express shipping to Israel...).
And the graphics (Illustration, colors...) of the book is low, as well is the paper quality, but the reason I ranked it 4 and not 5 is beacuse its covers Cel's and not Digital Paint.
Don't forget to click on the "This comment is helpful" Button.
Must Read.......2001-12-15
Shamus Culhane is one of the world's best animators. He created the walk cycle of the seven dwarfs in snow white. He demonstrated each characters personality walking in a line. All the characters are in synch. Amazing.
He explains the basics of animation. This book is a great way to understand the techniques of hand drawn animation. I have a few of the pages of this book Xeroxed and I keep them in my sketchbook. I have come across it in almost every animation studio and almost every animator's bookshelf.
Great book to get started.......2001-04-15
This book got me started in animation. Despite of a lot of helpful information, it also offers good excercises and points out other sources of great value. This book is written by the late former Disney artist who has been in the buisness from the first hour of animated cartoons. While all animation studios I've worked at consider Frank Thomas'and Olli Johnston's book "Illusion Of Life" as the animation bible, Culhane's book is a definate book for anyone who is just starting. It is also a great book for fans of the all time classic cartoons.

Book Description
In Mr. Moto, a blackmailed Ken Takashi must infiltrate a Japanese spy ring in post-WWII Chicago. It's his hatred that propels him to go along with a corrupt G-Man's plan. This may be his only chance, but the lies he has been told dissolve into a web of deceit. Moto shows him a world of intrigue and shadows, and forces him to see that the difference between pawn and player is slight enough to fool the most inscrutable of spies! In Mr. Keen, the city can swallow you whole, and only one man can find what cannot be found. Ninette Moeller steps off a flight from Paris and onto the mean streets of New York City. She's after one Lucien Denali, a man who has done unspeakable damage to her. She hires the tireless Mr. Keen: Tracer of Lost Persons to hunt him down. Will they underestimate the sheer evil that runs through him? You can run, but you can't hide from Mr. Keen.
Book Description
For almost thirty years, David Thomson’s Biographical Dictionary of Film has been not merely “the finest reference book ever written about movies” (Graham Fuller, Interview), not merely the “desert island book” of art critic David Sylvester, not merely “a great, crazy masterpiece” (Geoff Dyer, The Guardian), but also “fiendishly seductive” (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone).
This new edition updates the older entries and adds 30 new ones: Darren Aronofsky, Emmanuelle Beart, Jerry Bruckheimer, Larry Clark, Jennifer Connelly, Chris Cooper, Sofia Coppola, Alfonso Cuaron, Richard Curtis, Sir Richard Eyre, Sir Michael Gambon, Christopher Guest, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Spike Jonze, Wong Kar-Wai, Laura Linney, Tobey Maguire, Michael Moore, Samantha Morton, Mike Myers, Christopher Nolan, Dennis Price, Adam Sandler, Kevin Smith, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlize Theron, Larry Wachowski and Andy Wachowski, Lew Wasserman, Naomi Watts, and Ray Winstone.
In all, the book includes more than 1300 entries, some of them just a pungent paragraph, some of them several thousand words long. In addition to the new “musts,” Thomson has added key figures from film history–lively anatomies of Graham Greene, Eddie Cantor, Pauline Kael, Abbott and Costello, Noël Coward, Hoagy Carmichael, Dorothy Gish, Rin Tin Tin, and more.
Here is a great, rare book, one that encompasses the chaos of art, entertainment, money, vulgarity, and nonsense that we call the movies. Personal, opinionated, funny, daring, provocative, and passionate, it is the one book that every filmmaker and film buff must own. Time Out named it one of the ten best books of the 1990s. Gavin Lambert recognized it as “a work of imagination in its own right.” Now better than ever–a masterwork by the man playwright David Hare called “the most stimulating and thoughtful film critic now writing.”
Customer Reviews:
The Big Book of Film.......2007-01-05
Thomson writes the mini-essay like no one else. This book has info aplenty, but more than that it finds resonance in the most unexpected places. Try the entries on Rin-Tin-Tin, or the Lumiere Brothers. Some pieces tend more toward the length of full essay-portraits, but these too are surprises. The longest (I think) is Graham Green, which shows the intersection of life, film, lterature and art (a place full of fascinating wreckage). And where else would Sharon Stone's entry get merged with the one on Frances Farmer?
This is an encyclopedia that lacks as many details as it encompasses, yet it has everything it needs. It's more a way of looking at the movies than a mere listing of data. Along with The People's Almanac of 1975, this is one of the two most readable reference works I've ever experienced. Much of it is worth reading twice.
Opinionated, overwrought, self-important........2006-11-02
There is much ado about nothing in a good part of this book. Thomson has a habit of vast illuminations of celebrities that nobody has ever heard of, while ignoring many acknowledged and well regarded stars, especially the American ones. I bought his first book, which though well written, annoyed me in its cynical certainties, voiced by an author who apparently thinks he is an absolute genius and among the most sagacious critics. I bought his second edition of the same book, hoping that he would include celebs whom he ignored in the first edition. He included a few more in the second edition, and expanded on earlier assessments, most notably of the actor Robert Ryan, on whom he lavished well deserved praise. However, Thomson continued to ignore stars, Barry Sullivan, Vic Morrow, allotted about one hundred words to Dan Duryea. I saw a lot of damning with faint praise. He criticized Frederic March, Robert Wise, John Frankenheimer, and so on. I would not consider buying the third edition because Thomson is just so full of himself that it nauseates me.
IT MAKES SO ME MAD!.......2006-06-04
To his credit Mr.Thomson loves motion pictures,it is his opinions that drive me crazy,especially in regards to legendary director John Ford,who was certainly a very complex character.He regards Ford as a reactionary Irish sentimentalist who gloried in war.and drunken violence.I agee,somewhat,in his writings on "Fort Apache",where Wayne lets the legend of Thurday stand(in actuality Thurday was a madman and not a hero) but I could be argued that Ford is showing that the militiary is corrupt(Ford in interviews takes the opposite positon).Thompson says "The Sun Shines Bright" shows Ford is attracted to bigotry,and implying he in favor of it of,but it is bigotry that Ford is attacking in that redoing of Ford's own "Judge Priest".The Searchers(minus the "Look" episode) is a woderful film dealing with the hideous nature of racism,showing that it is killing Ethan's(John Wayne)soul.ANTI_BIGOTRY plays major roles in,"The Last Hurrah(anti-Irish),"Two Rode Together"(anti American Indian,anti-non-white,and,to a lesser extent,anti-Catholic),a very underrated film,"Sargeant Rutledge(white racism)and that flawed epic,"Cheyenne Autumn".Henry Fonda,as Owen Thursday in "Fort Apache",shows the arrogance and hatefulness that many European-Americans have toward "inferior races".I don't know of any other diector that has brought this (quasi-Marxist,ultra left)reviewer to tears so often while seeing one("The Grapes of Wrath","How Green Was My Valley","The Searchers","The Last Hurrah","The Long Voyage Home") of his films,and I've seen all the aforemented films at least 20 times and EVERY TIME my eyes water up.Ford was a VERY strange man,see Joseph McBride's,"In Search of John Ford",and MAUREEN O HARA's recent bio,"Tis Herself",just to see how turmoiled he really was.So Mr. Thomsom and I disagree on John Ford,but also on American leftist noir director Nicholas Ray(also a quasi-Marxist),Mr Thompson likes him very much,I think Mr.Ray,is just so-so.
Mr.Thomson likes Joan Bennett,(he we agree)says nice things concerning Linda Darnell,(good),and gives short shrift to Maureen O' Hara(bad)
It is a thought provoking book,so maybe I should give it 3 1/2 stars.He just makes me so mad!
For Movie Buffs.......2006-03-02
I recommend this book for all serious movie fans. It's a great reference containing brief biographies and film credits of most of the notable actors, directors, and producers from the silent era to the present. It also includes critical commentary on the people and films mentioned. Unlike most reference works, this book is by no means dry or "safe" in its comments. It reflects a distinct point of view, which the reader may not share in several cases -- but that adds to the interest. Reading it is almost like sharing a relaxed discussion over drinks with an extremely well-informed film critic with a sometimes eccentric slant on things. I enjoy leafing through the book and reading entries almost at random. The results are always informative, entertaining, and sometimes enlightening.
Smug as a bug in a rug.......2006-02-08
David Thomson is the sort of smug, pretentious critic you always wanted to smack around. Even the author's photograph on the book jacket oozes self-importance and ersatz sophistication - the only things missing from the picture are a smoking jacket and pipe. Basically, he is nothing but an unctuous salesman, but what he's selling isn't film, it's his own intellectual pedigree. In other words, reading this book you learn more about David Thomson than you do about the movies, and the picture isn't very pretty.
Thomson certainly has a large vocabulary at his disposal, but for all his flowery language he isn't a very good writer. The descriptive phrases he uses make frequent stabs at poetry but often wind up sounding overblown and empty, like so much hot air. He also has a talent for contradicting himself(frequently within a single sentence). For instance, he snobbishly decries "sentimentality" in movies every chance he gets, yet champions the work of P.T. Anderson, in my mind one of the most sentimental filmmakers working today.
But his worst offense is dismissing the talents of some of the true giants of cinema, particularly Federico Fellini, John Ford, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. I'm not opposed to a critic skewering a few sacred cows, I don't think any artist, even Mozart or Shakespeare, is above criticism, but Thomson's critiques lack heft, in fact they are downright hypocritical. For example, he castigates Kubrick and Scorsese for knowing more about cinema than they do about life, yet anyone who has amassed the knowledge and opinions necessary to write a tome such as this one cannot have done very much with his own life other than watching and studying movies. In effect, Thomson comes across as the worst sort of critic - an obsessive, self-loathing nerd who tries to pass himself off as "experienced." The same thing he accuses Kubrick and Scorsese of being. He really is a literary version of the kind of filmmaker he chastises, someone who uses broad sweeping gestures(in his case, big words and affected wisdom instead of trippy lighting and baroque camera angles) to cover up a profound lack of depth.
Instead of the high-minded film theorist he believes himself to be, when all is said and done, Thomson is just another pseudo-intellectual who has spent far too many hours in a darkened room. It isn't his lack of respect for certain artists that eventually dooms him - it is the surfeit of respect and dripping affection he applies to himself.

Insightful as to the rock movement's spiritual concerns........1999-03-05
This is the first book i've read in quite some time written by a Christian author on the subject of rock music that's actually fair to the people it's talking about.
Steve Turner understands the rock culture from the 50s thru '95, and he understands not just WHAT rock stars have done to wet their spiritual appetites over the past 40 years, but WHY. He goes piece by piece thru many of the different genres, starting with Elvis and ending with pagan techno, and shows us the thought process that went into the construction of many of the artists' philosophies on who they are, why they exist, whether or not God exists and if He does, whether or not He cares. Although most of the stars thru the years have never, as U2 put it, "found what they're looking for," and have lived excessive lives in the absebnce of any true from of religious satisfaction, the most interesting thing to read about is all they went thru to find their own identities and most still left with unanswered questions in the end.
Recommended for all interested in the rock culture and it's religious roots, but most of all recommended for those in the Church who rail against rock music, having limited research from reading too many Christian authors with slanted views.

This book rocks!.......2002-11-07
This book about famous rock stars, their lives and their deaths, was very interesting. It goes into depth about each star. Together, their stories tell the history of rock and roll music.
"Rock 'N' Roll Heaven" featured information about the childhoods and interests of many rock stars who have passed on, including Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Randy Rhoads, Eric Carr, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, Jerry Garcia, and John Lennon, just to name a few. It also had many extras such as Kurt Cobain's suicide letter. I will never forget many of the things I learned when I read the book.
One of the author's opinions was "MTV spawned a generation of artists who concerned themselves with their look as much as their sound." I very deeply agree with this. Look is very important for today's artist. New styles and trends are set frequently. I think some artists are more concerned with what they look like rather than what they sound like.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes rock and roll music. The lives of the musicians are very interesting. Most rock stars started studying music early in their life. I understand their music a lot better since I have found our about their lives and deaths. The rock 'n' roll lifestyle includes fast cars, big houses, etc. It seems that a great number of rock stars died from murder and drugs. This is probably because of their lifestyles.
The author's points and opinions were well researched. There was enough information on each artist so that I could fully understand what went on during their lives. The stories of the musicians were clear and easy to read. If you are looking for a good book about rock and roll stars, pick this one up!

Book Description
"The power to influence our concept of style lies in the hands of designers in television. Most people today can recognize 'a look' that a character projects. Steed and Emma Peel [of The Avengers] were the first to convey 'a look,' and their designers should be saluted. At the heart of this book lies the story of how the look came about."
—Madeline Ann Kozlowski, Professor of Drama, University of California, Irvine, and Emmy Award-winning costume designer for
Pryor's Place
From the alien worlds of
Star Trek to the realistic operating room of
ER, the design of sets and costumes contributes not only to the look and mood of television shows, but even more importantly to the creation of memorable characters. Yet, until now, this crucial aspect of television creativity has received little critical attention, despite the ongoing interest in production design within the closely allied discipline of film studies.
In this book, Piers Britton and Simon Barker offer a first analytical study of scenic and costume design for television drama series. They focus on three enduringly popular series of the 1960s—
The Avengers, The Prisoner, and
Doctor Who—and discuss such topics as the sartorial image of Steed in
The Avengers, the juxtaposition of picturesque and fascistic architecture in The Prisoner, and the evolution of the high-tech interior of
Doctor Who's TARDIS. Interviews with the series' original designers and reproductions of their original drawings complement the authors' analysis, which sheds new light on a variety of issues, from the discourse of fashion to that of the heritage industry, notions of "Pop" and retro, and the cultural preoccupation with realism and virtual reality.

Looking Good.......2003-12-25
So this is what happens to people who watched a lot of TV when they were young, then went on to become professional students (humanities professors, in other words). They deconstruct their favorite TV shows.
In Reading Between Designs, authors Britton and Barker examine the set designs and costumes in The Avengers, The Prisoner, and Doctor Who. They discuss the changing look of the Avengers over the course of the show, especially the costumes of Steed. In the first few seasons, when the show was only seen in Great Britain, Steed was expensively attired, but within the norms of his class. Later on, he became not only a caricature of upper class snobbery, but a fop as well. Apparently, this played better in North America.
The Prisoner provides a wealth of possibilities for analysis with its contrived sets, carnival-like costumes, and the fact that no one really knows what it was all about. Never having watched Doctor Who, I skipped that section, but fans will surely enjoy the discussions of the designs of sets, gadgets, costumes, and characters.
The authors have a very clear and readable style, without the jargon and psycho-babble one might expect in an academic text of this kind. They even acknowledge the annoying habit many of their colleagues have of talking about "reading" television or film. With plenty of black-and-white photos to back up their theories and observations, this is quite an enjoyable book.
