Features: A highly regarded work designated as a textbook by prestigious art academies such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Beijing Broadcasting University even before its publication—a rare gem! The author has participated in the production of over ten classic Western and Eastern animated films, including Mount Tai and The Smurfs, and has served as the main creator for multiple animated works. This book compiles the author's nearly 20 years of outstanding animation creation and design experience! The animated examples discussed in this book are all shot and included on the accompanying CD-ROM, vividly demonstrating to readers what the animation effect will look like if a movement is executed this way. Gathering the materials for this book took ten years, and writing it required the author to work tirelessly for nearly two years! This book summarizes the author's two decades of experience in character animation, featuring comprehensive and detailed animation resources collected over several years. Nearly 5,000 illustrations are equivalent to an entire animated short film, with every drawing meticulously crafted by the author over a span of two years. The book records animations for each chapter on the CD-ROM, vividly showing readers: if we draw an action this way, this is the screen effect. It delves deeper into action design, not only explaining "how to move" but also focusing on "how to move well." For readers unfamiliar with animation, this book is easy to grasp; for animation professionals, it is a living dictionary of classic animated action examples.
