Book Review: Better Appreciation for Animation
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought I'll read this book and be able to start animation. I've had the book for about a month and haven't finished it yet. It has a lot of good information but I've concluded that the learning curve is too great and have given up on my quest. I have a grewater appreciation for what goes into those snippets on UTUBE. The book itself is colorful, well printed and bound. I'm going to slack on trying to make my own animated video.
