Technical info belongs in books, but I always thought character animation is something that needs to be learned through direct observation and practice.

He's so caught up in the details, that story and character--and thereby good acting--fall by the wayside. NOT to say that the basics posited in this book aren't valuable. It's a good beginners book.

I read the first book and loved it, but it wasnt until I read it again and actually started understanding what Richard was explaining that I truly got the value in it. Thanks for letting us know about the new edition! Fantastic!

I feel it's going to become a life long reference book. I just bought this the other week and it’s so clear and concise. I feel it’s going to become a life long reference book.
