You need to know about timing, how bodies move, the effects of gravity, how to shoot video, how to take pictures, how to tell a story, and how to make movie sets and miniature figures! Wow, that seems like a lot and I hope I didn't scare you off. My point is that stop motion entails a lot of different kinds of things --- And this book touches on all of these things. And it does it very nicely. You get a little bit of the history of stop motion and learn about some of the seminal works in the genre. And you get good information about how to make things move in a way that looks natural. And you get some good information about lighting, building sets and building figures. This is simply an excellent introduction to actually doing stop motion animation. I used this book to make a short animation. You can't go wrong and if you don't know much about how to do animation but want to learn this is a great place to start. Highly recommended. It covers a lot of technical stuff in an easy to understand and not so technical way which is just terrific. Whether you are a amateur or aspiring professional you will benefit from this book. Review: Great Book - Best book I've found as far as physically teaching the art, and not just history lessons. The book offers crucial lessons on subjects such as easing in and out, rig removal, and various other subjects. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their knowledge in the field. Great for beginners and advanced animators alike. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,534,082 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #493 in Digital Art #1,367 in Movie Direction & Production #2,775 in Computer Graphics & Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (65) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.75 x 10 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0240520556 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0240520551 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 264 pages | | Publication date | April 5, 2008 | | Publisher | Focal Press | ## Images ![Stop Motion: Craft Skills for Model Animation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31-2A0nl4JL.jpg) ![Stop Motion: Craft Skills for Model Animation - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51YFIUmkGEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book, terrific primer for beginners *by W***F on January 19, 2011* Stop motion animation, by it's very nature is a multi skill endeavor.
