How to ANIMATE
In the past few months I have been studying animation more and more.
There is a few articles/books I would recommend to everybody who wants to do animations.
Articles///
Animation for Fighting Game Characters:
- Darkstalkers and the 12 Principles of Animation
- The Twelve Principles of Animation (Wikipedia)
- Skullgirls Article
Books///
Animation in General:
- The Animator's Survival Kit (Buy HERE or HERE (even has an Ipad Version)
Review: This book gives a great insight how animation works, how it started, tips and tricks,etc. Overall a must have if you are getting into animation! I really like it and always tend to look at it from time to time!
