Self-Serving Promotion:
I talk about a lot of animation related produces in these pages. I think it is about time for me to plug my own product.
The 4th edition of my ebook, Animation on a $hoe$tring (tm): Building a Low Cost Animation Studio with your Home Computer is finished and available from my web site agni-animation.com/shoestring.html.
This is a book of strategies, produce research and reviews, product links, low cost work-a-rounds and gorilla animated filmmaking tricks modeled after the 1920 Edwin G. Lutz book Animated Cartoons: How They Are Made, Their Origin and Development.
When I set up my State Funded Animation program in Orange, California back in 1995 I had to fight for the budget for every single animation tool I brought into the classroom. I soon found that it was easier if I picked my fights and go after only the big items that I could not cobble together on my own.
Having a background in gorilla filmmaking from my special effects days and having grown up with tools in my father`s garage I found it was easy to go back to the low-tech tricks of yesteryears and adapt them to a new age.
Through the years the number one question that students ask me is how do I set up my own studio?.
This ebook can show you how to put together a traditional 2-D animation studio for around $300 to $400, input, manipulation, and output to DVD. There is an expanded section on Stop Motion (my first love) hundreds of links to products and video examples.
So there is my self-serving promotion. The book is aimed at the student and beginner but also has stuff for the professional. All the links were updated just before Comic Con. Thank you for listening. P.S. There is a free demo of the book on my site. ¶ 1:57 PM
