Review title: Cartoon Animation for Everyone by alan Cleave
Product review: I bought this book back in the 1970s and it had some relevance then, but it is mostly outdated due to technology. This book is completely obsolete for those wanting to create computer animation and has almost no value for those who want to learn to draw animated characters.The book discusses the basics of creating animation cycles and making a character turn, squash and stretch, etc: all information that is easily obtained for free on the web or contained in any other good book on animation.The book uses many pages describing how to build and use a film movie camera stand.The author has nearly no drawing ability and hardly seems qualified to write a book on the subject of animation. There is a section on creating animation by making characters cut out of paper and hinged together.Save your money and buy Presten Blair's book, or (if you can afford it) "The Illusion of Life".
