Review
“As Disney Animation great Ollie Johnston always told me, “It’s not the tools that create great character animation, it’s what you do with those tools.” Eric’s book is a terrific how-to that clearly explains the tools and the techniques for great animation in any medium. People always ask me, “How do I get started in animation?” Now I know the answer…read the Character Animation Crash Course book by Eric Goldberg!” — John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios “Eric’s book and CD are a first in the industry.

For those who missed Mike Judge and Doug Hertzfeldt’s semi-annual Animation Show when it visited their local theater, here’s another collection of the best and most imaginative animated shorts culled from the screenings. As with previous volumes, there’s a wide variety of animation styles on display in Volume 3, from CGI (“No Room For Gerold,” about quarreling animal roommates) and 2-D (“Tyger,” based on a poem by William Blake, and featuring puppet work with animation) to live action/animation blends (“Carlitopolis”) and one-dimensional work (Hertzfeldt’s affecting “Everything Will Be Okay,” about its line drawing protagonist’s struggles with mental illness). Subject matter is equally diverse, from the wryly comic “Astronauts” and Bill Plympton’s “Guide Dog” (a sequel to his “Guard Dog”) to the atmospheric “Tyger” and the noir-influenced “Shuteye Hotel.” Judge himself contributes an intro courtesy his malcontent alter egos of Beavis and Butthead; the package (more…)
