Shamus Culhane - Animation From Script to Screen Book Review

Book Review of Shamus Culhane's "Animation From Script to Screen"

Very comprehensive book on the Animation process, just like the title, "Animation from Script to Screen". Culhane has worked in many positions in the animation studio giving him alot of insight many animation directors lack. This book is definitely good reference for someone wanting to creating a Animation from writing a script to playing it on the screen. He does encourage readers to do 1-minute quick sketching assignments (very useful for concept artists, animators, all artists in general).

The only downside of this book is that some of the information and techniques are a little outdated, but it is to be expected since this book was written in 1988. We are in the digital/tech era.
