Hooks uses basic acting theory to explain everything from character movement and facial expressions to interaction and scene construction. Just as acting on film and on stage are very different disciplines, so is the use of acting theory in creating an animated character, scene or story. Acting for Animators is full of essential craft tips from an acting master. New to this Routledge edition: - scene-by-scene analyses of six films, including Up , Coraline and Kung Fu Panda - an expanded chapter on video game animation - all-new illustrations - a 500 word history of acting Review: I believe this is is the finest book written on acting for animators available. - It has straightforward examples, a well thought out structure that is both thoughtful and practical, and it obviously comes from an author who has a great deal of insight and experience with his subject. This is not one of those books written by an academic who has limited hands-on experience in his field. It's short, simple to understand, and gets right to the heart of the matter. It is about digging deep into what makes characters come alive as opposed to moving in entertaining ways on the screen. Any animator who is interested in getting behind the characters that they work so hard to create should read and re-read this book. It will make you a better storyteller and help you understand what motivates meaning as well as motion. Review: Must have for any character animator! - Extremely helpful and easy to read, this is a must have for anyone interested in/or in the field of character animation. Be it for entertainment/film, gaming or advertising, this book is helpful for all. It includes scene by scene breakdowns of some great animated films and tells you what you should aim for, what works. It is a great product and I guarantee you'll love it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,481,611 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #413 in How to Create Anime & Cartoons #920 in Animation Graphic Design (Books) #1,400 in Acting & Auditioning (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | ## Images ![Acting for Animators - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZiLQYEX8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I believe this is is the finest book written on acting for animators available. *by M***I on July 11, 2015* It has straightforward examples, a well thought out structure that is both thoughtful and practical, and it obviously comes from an author who has a great deal of insight and experience with his subject.
