Animated Storytelling: Simple Steps for Creating Animation and Motion Graphics

I liked book a lot. It is good foundation or reminder about very simple and basic things, which works not just for animation but also film. Simple excellent guide through your creative process especially when you stuck and need some creative push!

Simple and clear structure. Nice book.

Simple and informative

i thought it would be better felt like it was written for kids and info wasn't that great

Excelente material para quienes inician o se dedican a la pedagogía en el medio. Abarca de manera simple y sencilla al proceso creativo, de planeación y de preproducción de proyectos audiovisuales sean animados o no.

Animated Storytelling is a concisely written and beautifully deigned book that gives the reader a comprehensive look at the filmmaking process. It's kind of like having a mini film school in the palm of your hand! (Although it focuses on animation, I would argue that much of this book's information applies to live-action storytelling as well.) For the aspiring filmmaker, it serves as a workbook, taking the reader through the entire filmmaking process with pertinent and contemporary illustrations of the concepts being discussed as well as assignments that help the reader put those concepts to use in their own film. For the veteran, it serves as a great reference guide and creative-block-lifter: encouraging the reader to experiment and not be afraid of failure while reminding them of key techniques and concepts that can help elevate their work to a whole new level.As a side note, I believe this book would be a great educational companion piece to Richard Williams' "The Animator's Survival Kit" (see link below). As Williams' book delves into the nitty gritty and hard core mechanics of character animation, Blazer's book shows the reader how to combine that animation with design and storytelling to create a film. A great combo for any aspiring animated filmmaker!

L'approccio all'animazione, alla motiongraphics, sono elementi fondamentali. Conoscere solamente i software e basarsi su quelli per creare i contenuti quando dietro manca sostanza, la storia, lo storytelling, il suscitare emozioni già prima di accendere il proprio Computer è fondamentale. Il libro fa un escursus su tantissime tematiche che mi hanno aperto gli occhi e che ritengo indispensabili per ogni buon Motion Designer.Esempi, esercizi ed illustrazioni sono molto validi per far andare la mente su una concezione tutta nuova, se non conosciuta.Mi è così piaciuto che mi sono rifatto delle mappe mentali per riassumere i tanti concetti espressi. Straconsigliato!

Es un libro muy recomendable para gente que se enfrenta a proyectos de animación y motion graphics. Te acompaña a través de todo el recorrido de un proyecto, para que entiendas cada etapa y te enfrentes de la mejor manera para encontrar los resultados deseados. Facil de entender, con ejemplos y ejercicios que te ayudarán a llevar a buen puerto tus proyectos.

El libro es interesante pero muy básico. Describe paso a paso, pero es info que fácilmente se podría sacar de internet, no hace falta comprar el libro. La calidad de impresión deja mucho que desear.
