Description
Directing Animation is an insider's step-by-step guide to surviving and thriving as a director in the animation industry. It explains the day-to-day duties and realities facing the role of the animation director and delves into how to direct animation for independent films, commercials, TV series, feature films, and web productions. Animation directors, aspiring and professional animation artists, and educators will find the book a valuable and useful tool for discovering the director's creative role in managing the entire animation process from storyboards to final delivery of animation. As the book shows, this is likely to include shaping the production process or pipeline, creating the schedule, staffing the production, and managing the workflow while maintaining the crew's morale. And, while no two productions are exactly alike, the book makes clear that to succeed the director must take on the less pleasing duties that go with the title, including scheduling, process, and deadline.
