During his fifty years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the link between Disney's golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation exemplified by Toy Story. Perhaps even more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that every animator--from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz --needs. Urging his readers to "invent but be believable," he illustrates his points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that will become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans.

Normally, regular paper won't reflect light, but this one does. It is an one time investment book that has everything that a beginner needs to know about the world of animation. It can last for a decade if used constantly with care of not tearing it down by ruff handling. If you are worried about its accessibility because of its thickness, my personal opinion is, once you have purchased it, it's yours to maintain, you can get it spiral binding by seperating sections by topic. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Animator's Survival Kit: A Manual of Methods, Principles and Formulas for Classical, Computer, Games, Stop Motion and Internet Animators - The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation - Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/77988888-the-animators-survival-kit-a-manual-of-methods-principles-formulas](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/77988888-the-animators-survival-kit-a-manual-of-methods-principles-formulas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
