Hedley Griffin writes in a way that is sympathetic to your needs and guides you though each technique in a simple step-by-step manner. The introductory chapter shows you how to achieve different animation styles on the computer, as well as essential skills such as storyboarding, the preparation of drawings and scanning issues. Practical illustrated tutorials then take you through each fundamental technique so you too will be able to achieve professional-looking results.

Other animators provide specific case studies demonstrating the varied use of 2D computer animation on a professional scale. A detailed glossary explains all the vital terms and a list of all the software suppliers mentioned provides useful contact details.

The free CD-ROM (PC only) includes colour examples and animation movie clips of the techniques described in the book, as well as a range of free demos of the various software available.
