Classic animation techniques are analyzed and brought to life through this unique book and its accompanying CD that offers readers animated movie examples that show, in real time or frame-by-frame, the author’s principles at work. Add to this Goldberg’s discussions of classic cartoons and his witty, informative observations based on the wealth of knowledge he’s gained during his 30-plus years in professional animation, and you have a tour-de-force guide to character animation with the classic touch. ”
Hi Eric, I have attempted to contact you via several channels so pardon if this is redundant. I am a fan of yours and
and of the great Ken Harris who you worked with at Richard Williams’ Studio in the early 70′s. I would like to pay you to
draw me a couple of nice gag drawings with prominent caricatures or portraits – one of yourself and one of Ken.
I am a SERIOUS person and will pay you well – several hundred $$ – for these drawings. I hope to hear from you on this
but, in any event, I remain an admirer.
Kindest regards,
tom brakefield
