There are a lot of books about animating and recently I read three that deserve to be on every animator’s bookshelf. They are enjoyable to read and full of excellent tips and information for novice and professional animators alike. Two of them, Independent Animation - Developing, Producing, and Distributing Your Animated Fim and Acting for Animators are updated versions of previously published books, proving their popularity.

Now that the holidays are over it’s time to settle back and do some reading I enjoyed.

On Animation:  The Director’s Perspective features face to face in-depth interviews by Bill Kroyer and Tom Sito with such prominent directors as Nick Park, Pete Doctor, Brad Bird and Brenda Chapman.

ANTI-ANIMATION by Ulo Pikkov & AESTHETIC INTERFERENCES by Eliane Gordeeff

After 7 years of extensive research Giannalberto Bendazzi’s long awaited three volume set of Animation  A World History is finally here! More than just a continuation of his 1994 ground breaking Cartoons, these three volumes thoroughly cover the history of every phase of animation over the last three centuries.
