" The animator's survival kit: A manual of methods, principles and formulas for classical, games, stop-motion and internet animators" is a book (or a survival kit) written by animator and director Richard WIlliams. It en-globes various aspects of animation, including tips, advice and general knowledge about animation and its history. I chose to write about it because this is what i consider an animation bible, per say. I have it at home and whenever i need to clear some doubt this is the first place I'll look. It is consider a must-have in every animators library and it is certainly present in mine.
The format of the book is done so that one doesn't get bored quickly, containing loads of beautiful illustrations, and nearly all the text is hand written by Williams himself. Thus, the book can be read quite fast although a thorough study is needed for those who really want to get something out of it.
Richard Williams has won two Oscars (direction and animation) for "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" and over 250 other awards.
