Eric Goldberg, the pioneering, award-winning animator-director whose cartoon magic has graced such classics as Disney’s ALADDIN, POCAHONTAS, FANTASIA/2000 and HERCULES, has harnessed the essence of cinema’s most beloved form in a new book, CHARACTER ANIMATION CRASH COURSE! (Silman-James Press, Los Angeles; publication date September 2008).
Goldberg will hold his first book signing at Comic-Con International 2008 in San Diego on Friday, July 25 (2-4 p.m.) and Saturday, July 26 (11 a.m.-Noon), at the Stuart Ng Books exhibit, Booth #5012.
Goldberg, currently supervising animator on the character "Louis" in Disney’s upcoming THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG (Holiday 2009 release), opens a treasure chest of animation secrets, illuminating in text and drawings how characters are conceived and -- endowed with strong and unforgettable personalities -- ultimately brought to life.
The book will be released in September 2008.
