Animation 101 is a fantastic insight into the world of animation. Written by Ernest Pintoff, an Oscar winning filmmaker who has taught animation throughout the world, he is an animation innovator who has influenced many and will continue to for years to come. His book introduce us into the industry of animation with insights from animation legends, such as; Noel Blanc, Bill Hanna, John Lasseter, Nick Park and many more.
The book talks about Ernest's life through animation, the animation he has worked on previously and stories about his experiences. He also discusses how animation has evolved through the ages and where it is now.
Animation 101 was cheap, I bought it for 1p with £2.80 postage, however the book has inspired me greatly. Ernest talks about his remarkable journey and celebrates animation throughout. Ernest has won The Winsor McCay award for lifetime achievement in the field of animation, in his book he talks about his experiences from that award. The Winsor McCay award is something that one day I hope to get, a sort of dream if you will. To hear Ernest's view point for recieving this sparks my dream even more than it ever had been.
This book is a great read, and it is dirt cheap. I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested at all in animation, it's entertaining and enlightening.
