Animating Short Stories Reviews

Richly illustrated with examples throughout, Briggs explores the process of animating short stories from the conception of the initial idea, through the challenges of story development, before ending with insights galore drawn from her own experiences of short-form animation production. Offering a delightful mix of practical examples and useful theory, Animating Short Stories will surely become a valuable reference for aspiring storytellers the world over. * Chris Pallant, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK *
Excellent book that highlights all the production process for animation. Very relevant. * Kelvin Wong, Lecturer in Animation, Birmingham City University, UK *
The book will provide a useful resource for students wanting to understand the basics of effective storytelling through the medium of animation at an introductory level. The book features some lovely illustrations and the writing is very accessible in its structure and style. * Mandy Langton, Lecturer in Film Production, University of Central Lancashire, UK *
