Acting for Animators: 4th Edition
Ed Hooks’ essential acting guidebook for animators has been fully revised and updated in this 4th edition. This digital download provides instant access to a wealth of knowledge tailored specifically for animators. Hooks employs classical acting theory—from Aristotle to Stanislavsky and beyond—to explain character analysis, physical movement, facial expression, and scene structure. Unlike traditional acting guides, this book speaks directly to animators, making it an invaluable resource for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
New to this fourth edition are six new scene-by-scene acting analyses of animated feature films, including Zootopia and The Little Prince. Additionally, it features an annotated analysis of Walt Disney’s famous 1935 memo to Don Graham on training animators, advice on performing visual references, a chapter on Virtual Reality, and an online database of Ed’s previous film analyses, all in one place.
