Book Reviews of Stop Motion: Passion, Process and Performance
Book Review: For anybody that already is a stop motion animator
Summary: 5 Stars
This may not be exactly a "Stop-Motion for Dummies" book. And it most definately isn't an introduction to the world of stop-motion either. It's much more of an "insider" book, from the hands of one of the greater stop-motion artists of our time. It shares experiences, holds more information about the medium than any book i've encountered so far, and all it really does is make me a better animator. I'm a happy camper!
