Jim Parsons –
My daughter started college and dreams of directing major animation films. I bought this book for her as a present. It seemed like it may help give her some guidance for the industry. Boy – was that an understated perspective. She loves the book. She loves the way the chapters flow from ideas, to development of characters and story, scripting, and only after lots of work, is visual story telling technique introduced. My daughter said her art was chaotic in creation. She’s thrilled with the guidance of the information in the book.
