"What has cost me millions of dollars and over 30 years to learn, I've now put into a 16-DVD box-set combining my Masterclasses with over 350 specially animated examples."

If you're not familiar with Richard Williams and his work I'd ask where on earth you've been hiding all these years but after that I'd tell you that he's most well known for being the Director of Animation for the film 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' for which he won two Oscars.

These DVD's are for professionals and students and cover the knowledge of the underlying principles of sophisticated animation which apply to any style or approach to the medium, including computer, classical, games, stop motion and internet animation.

The Animator's Survival Kit - Animated is about how things move, and specific work methods used to make characters live, breathe, think and give a sustained commanding performance. Williams demonstrates his points with drawing, performance and over 350 specially animated examples - many from his best-selling book.

I drooled a little when I heard about this because even though I own and have read The Animators Survival Kit being able to see the many examples in the book come to life along with video tuition would be a welcomed accompliment.

Visit theAnimatorsSurvivalKit.com to check out some of the short clips from the collection. You might be able to pick up a tip or two.
It's not available until November but you can pre-order your copy and save yourself a bit of money while you're at it.
