Today we mourn the passing of the animation legend Richard Williams, who's book The Animator's Survival Kit absolutely shaped my animation learning journey and I wouldn't be where I am without this book and Richard Williams' inspirational work.
If you're new to animation or haven't heard of this book I hope that this clip will give you a good overview of the book and app, and maybe it will inspire and help you, just like it inspired and helped me.
Thank you Richard Williams.

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "survival gear list" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ryanzon Survival Genie - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got great results with it.

Book price... Indian money

@ArtfulAmy 4 года назад

Very strangely, I bought this book (as well as “The Illusion of Life”) in mid-August last summer before starting my first 3D animation class and I found out the next day that Richard Williams had just passed away. That timing shook me a bit, but when I began to read the book, I thought of how indebted both aspiring and working animators are to this man for leaving such a resource and wealth of knowledge behind as his legacy.

I love Richard Williams. I saw his film, The Thief and the Cobbler when I was in middle school. Watching that film, just made me spark. I loved the animation in that film. I first saw that book. I’ve been meaning to buy but kept forgetting it. What I remembered about the book was the logo on the book. I bought the book two months ago I’m learning so much from it. Even made notes. It’s been a year since his death. RIP Richard Williams.

@jeandenishaas 4 года назад

@Jean-Denis Haas, thank you so much for this video and what a nice gesture to commemorate his legacy. I recently bought his book and couldn't agree more he was super generous by sharing his massive body of knowledge to us all. I am learning so much from his book. I hope that our generation of animators could at least become half as good as him, both in terms of our work and being generous. Keep up the great work, and I am learning a lot from all your animation resources. R.I.P Mr Richard Williams

I brought it but I'm not sure how to go about tackling this beast. Should I just read it or do I follow all the exercises in the book or only the ones that apply to me? Should I take notes or just leave sticky tabs and highlights? Or should I just try to apply want I learn to my personal work? How would you personally go about learning from this book? haha sorry for all the questions I just want to to use this book the best I can.

@jeandenishaas 3 года назад

Don’t be sorry, all good questions! I can’t answer for you as I don’t know how you prefer to learn but I can tell you what I did. I read the whole thing in order to know what’s ahead and just to get a general overview. Then as I was taking classes at the Academy I consulted the book whenever I needed it based on what my assignments were. Now I have a bunch of sticky tabs in there for the major areas I need it for (like walks for humans and creatures).

Nice video. Just reading this book & what I don't get is why does it say the walk cycles are on 8's but it shows 9 frame's?

@jeandenishaas 2 года назад

Thanks! I need to check where that is but with cycles your first and last frame are the same (so you know it cycles properly) but when you play it you don’t play the last frame. So 1 and 9 are the same and you play 1 to 8.
