Ratings and Reviews
Superb
Baring in mind the price point of the full version may seem a bit steep but compared to the basic cost of fees for a course at a university/art college (around £9k in the uk as of 2013) and the fact that of all the courses and final year film shows I go to, the sheer quality of teaching and method explained in this book/app this is an essential companion, if not better than some of the techniques tought throughout a three year course.
Having worked in the industry for a decade and a half, the 'real' book (The Animation Survival Kit) is a constant reference book but tihs app takes it to another level that the book could not with proper moving examples and wonderful introductory videos from the man himself. In fact I don't think I had ever read it cover to cover as I have with this app.
The 'app' is delightfully considered and constructed and a charm to read (despite Mr Williams tendency to (neccesarily) put down lazy working techniques such as - the horror- listening to music while you work!). The side-line elemnts of his experiences over the years in the studio systems is also a delight!
As I say, if you are interested and/or passionate about the process of animation this is the most amazing first step and regardless of your chosen technique (2d drawn, 3D stop motion or 3D computer - or even experimental) this will give you a MASSIVE advantage over your peers.
Equally if you happen to be a parent, grandparent or godparent to any child around the ages of 10 who is showing signs of interest in this field this is a totally awesome present.
All in all not just superb but unique and as rich as a seam of gold.
