Publisher Notes
What do Wallace and Gromit, Godzilla, and Gumby have in common? They're all examples of 3-D animation. From Aardman Studios in Bristol, England, winners of three Academy Awards, comes the most thorough book on the subject, and the first to include complete instructions for making a 3-D animated film. Aardman is one of the foremost 3-D animation studios in the world, acclaimed for its short films, TV series, and commercials. The studio has created a host of well-known characters, the most famous being Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit. But the history of 3-D animation spans such Hollywood triumphs as the 1933 King Kong, 1991's Terminator II, and 1993's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and includes such creatures as the California Raisins.The main focus of this exciting book is a guide to the processes of 3-D animation, culminating in a practical, fully illustrated step-by-step description of how to create effective characters and sets, and make an entire film. There is no other book that provides this same information in such detail, making it possible for everyone to create their own 3-D animated classic.Peter Lord is a co-founder of Aardman Animations. He has twice been nominated for an Academy Award and is currently codirecting, with Nick Park, Aardman's first feature film.Brian Sibley is a broadcaster with the Bbc World Service. He has written a number of books about animation and is the author of Shadowlands: The True Story of C. S. Lewis and Joy Davidman.Nick Park is the creator of three short films starring Wallace and Gromit, two of which have won Academy Awards.
