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 served as a key creator for multiple animated works. This book compiles nearly two decades of the author's outstanding animation creation and design experience! The animation examples discussed in the book are all shot and included in the accompanying DVD, vividly demonstrating to readers how a movement, when executed this way, will result in such an animation effect. Gathering the materials for this book took a decade, and the author spent nearly two years working tirelessly to complete it! This book summarizes the author's two decades of experience in character animation, featuring comprehensive and detailed animation materials 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 period of two years. The book records animations for each chapter example on the DVD, vividly showing readers: if we draw an action this way, it will produce such a screen effect. It delves deeper into the study of action design, not only explaining "how to move" but also emphasizing "how to move well." For readers unfamiliar with animation, this book is easy to grasp; for animation professionals, it serves as a living dictionary of classic animation action examples.
