Why This Book Matters

Animation is a limitless storytelling medium, but jumping into animation without pre-production weakens the result. This book addresses that gap by giving creators a clear, repeatable process. It also responds to the growing demand for skilled animated storytellers in film festivals, television, the web, and advertising.

By placing animation and motion graphics side by side, the book helps filmmakers benefit from commercial discipline and helps motion graphics artists benefit from experimental storytelling. This makes it a useful resource for both emerging and practicing creators.
