Tony White's Animator's Notebook PDF series offer something new: a LIVING book, where pages can be read like a book but they are not static like a book. They come to life with full animations that leap from the page with just a quick click of the mouse. This third Notebook in the series, "Stylized Walks," digs deeper into this most fundamental of character movements, helping you get it right with ample animation examples. The accompanying animations show you how characters move--instead of just describing their movement.

AUTHORITATIVE: Tony White is an accomplished award-winning animator and instructor (with four decades of top-level production experience and seven years of teaching). ACCESSIBLE: All of the lectures are instantly downloadable, and offer a significant range of topics for study, based on the specific interest of the customer.
