A little rough animation from the book
Category: Animation

For a number of the illustrations in the book I had to actually do some rough animation, just to see if they would work. Most animation books have actual films, commercials and other sequences to draw from but we had to do it all from scratch. It was fun actually.
Sure it's not "feature film" polished up quality but that's not the point. The point is merely to illustrate some basic animation principles and then the book teaches so much more beyond that.

But I thought it would be fun to string 'em together and make this little promo.

So here it is, a selection of assorted animation principles, as seen in a few chapters of "Animation Unleashed". Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

( Now I wish I had done a halloween theme for the excerpts. heh )

A groovy review.
Category: News

Hey check out this excellent review for "Animation Unleashed" on the Writer's Digest.website written by Chad Gervich.

Very cool. Hopefully it will generate some more interest in the book ( did i mention it's in stores now?) and send some more eyeballs our way!

We're( well I say we but mostly Ellen with my tagging along) will be doing a presentation/ book launch maybe even screening some animation at the Gladstone Hotel on Queen west here in Toronto Nov 4th.
It's part of Pages' "This is Not a Reading Series". IT'll be great fun and we'll be signing books too no doubt so come on out and have a beverage with us!

cheers!
