About the book
Richard Williams, notable for his work on "The Thief and the Cobbler", intimately outpours all his animation knowledge to You. The book covers all 12 principals of animation as well as walk cycles, workflows, and general "Do's" and "Don'ts". Although colleagues have told me before that Williams can go a bit too detailed when it comes to information about walk cycles and frame rates.
