The book Understanding Animation is an informative book that gives the reader a variety of knowledge from what it is, its history all the way to how it is evolving today. To be more exact, it basically covers all the different areas of animation, with views from all aspects from different animators, to scientists and audiences responses to all this.
The book covers a range of topics such as ‘The problem with realism’ which focuses on how live action differs from animation on a number of levels, ‘What is animation?’ which goes into detail on exactly what animation is.
I will be covering question three of the essay assignment, in which this will cover the aspects of comedy. This book which covers many areas, no doubt has plenty of information in comedy, and black humour.
I have found this book useful to me in the past before, but I focused on a different factor in the book, that being ‘realism’ which was of interest to me because I wanted to define the differences between live-action and animation. The structure of the book is quite simple to navigate around, and with use of the index as well you get to see how much is contained in this reasonably sized book. I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for information on the art form that is animation, as it covers a majority of fields in detail. I personally like this book very much and I no doubt feel that I will be going back to reading this book many times in the future for future help and reference.
