Both experienced and aspiring animation professionals will find
Directing Animation a comprehensive and entertaining guide to
understanding the director's creative role in managing the entire
animation process. An animation director doesn't simply direct
animation. He or she directs people who animate and must be equally able
to relate to the crew, producers, writers, creators, and clients.
Readers will learn how to: -- direct commercials, TV series, feature
films, and Web features and series -- land their first big directorial
break -- create realistic schedules and pipelines -- assemble the best
crew for any job -- motivate animators and crew members -- give
constructive feedback and notes -- maintain good relationships with
producers, creators, writers, and network executives. In addition to
over eighty photographs and illustrations, Directing Animation includes
insider tips and firsthand experience from animators, directors, and
producers, revealing the best ways to manage the production process
while creating a workplace that is both efficient and fun.
