Book Reviews of Beginner's Guide to Animation: Everything you Need to Know to get Started
Book Review: Good book for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 11 year old son who has been interested in Stop Motion Animation for quite some time. It was a good choice. This book answered his questions about software and cameras. It has very good advice for setting up a small animation studio (which we will be doing next week). It has chapters on a variety of animation techniques from traditional clay animation, to puppets, to sand. It gave him some ideas he wouldn't have thought up on his own.
I recommend this as a very good first book for a new animator.
