Timing for Animation - Tapa blanda

'Halas and Whitaker's 'Timing for Animation' was, and still is, without a doubt, the best book for students of the art of animation. I can't recommend it highly enough.'

Written by two internationally acclaimed animators, this classic text teaches all you need to know about the art of timing and its importance in the animated film.

Learn all the tips and tricks of the trade from the professionals. How should the drawings be arranged in relation to each other? How many are needed?
