Book Overview
Creating Animated Cartoons With Character: A Guide to Developing and Producing Your Own Series for TV, the Web, and Short Film offers Joe Murray’s approach to building an animated series. The book is written for creators using an auteur-style process, where the creator contributes strongly to episodes and takes creative risks. It includes a foreword by Linda Simensky and an introduction featuring a quote from Steve Hillenburg.
The contents move from a brief history of the author’s path to cartooning and television animation. It then covers why a creator wants to do a series, how to refine the big idea, and why character is central to the series concept.
