"Thinking Animation" is a good overview and learning resource for anyone that wants to know how the magic of animation is made. It covers all the basic principles of animation, breaks them down and explains how they're used. It's not a step by step instruction manual of animation, though. If you're an animation student, no matter what the medium: hand drawn animation, flash animation, 3D animation, stop motion animation, etc, this book is an excellent 'text book' that covers just about everything.

This is a well written book that gives you an overview, with some specifics, about animation. It thoroughly explains the transition and differences between 2D and 3D. If you want to know what it is like to be an animator and think and breathe like one, this is you book. It is not technically specific but does a very good job of explaining the vast topics. A worthy read where you will say "Ah ha" quite a bit. Enjoy!

boring book with no real info that you couldn't get from youtube. I was so disappointed I donated the book to charity.

while this book definitely hits all the important points about the discipline, craft and yes technical work of animation, its the 'learning the ropes' and theory portions of this book that really set it apart from anything else i have ever read on this subject, or many engineering or creative manuals for that matter. in a way, this book is more than just about 2D and CG, its subsections about theory and carrying yourself in a production environment are worth their weight in gold. i'd wager at least 60% of this book has application in many, many other creative fields such as computer programming, arts and creative fields not related to animation whatsoever. if you are cross disciplinarian, this might just be your rosetta stone. or a good foundation for one. highly recommended.

I thought it was going to be Richard Williams's style book but it wasn't and in fact im kind of pleased. To me it's more like a book full of wise wisdom and tricks of the trade and really explains things in a clear cut way. If only I had this book when I first started out in the whole learning 3D thing 6 years ago this would have been my bible for deciphering most of the terms and understand what they really mean.

I really like the book has point of views from different people and how they approach their work. A really insightful book and helpful for people who have a 2D background and going to a 3D one, as there are so many terms in 3D that you don't find in 2D e.g. a graph editor and tweaking f curves. For those with a 3D background already I think book will help achieve more from their 3D animation.

This book would have really helped me a lot when I was do my dissertation called as it covers nearly every aspect I was talking about and would have saved me time, it was even helpful to see where Angie and Jamie had referenced there information from too.

All in all I think for some people as soon as they see too much text it might put them off as after all animators/creative are visual people. But on the other hand if your passionate enough and want to learn from the best or knowledge that's been past down from animator to animator its a worthy buy and for me its been a worthy buy - a book fully loaded with knowledge and wisdom, what more could you want, its like having the best animator sitting right next to you.

This book is just fantastic, it was such a pleasure to read that I really hoped it would not end.

I found it different from other books on the subject as it gives you an overview about most processes in animation and helped me solidify some concepts that I was not sure about. It's not a technical book so don't expect step by step tutorials, which I think it's great as it wasn't intended to be. It's a book you can just enjoy on the couch with out trying to follow and press buttons.

I recommend this book to really any one who wants to have an inside look at the animation world, any one who really wants to get to grip with the terms and concepts of animation.

Best chapter was the one on acting as it really supplied some stellar advice and ideas.
