دانلود کتاب The Advanced Art of Stop-Motion Animation

"The Advanced Art of Stop-Motion Animation", by Ken Priebe, is far more than an update of his earlier book, "The Art of Stop-Motion Animation". As the name suggests, it covers advanced techniques, and is ideal _after_ you're comfortable with the basics of stop-motion animation. Beginners may be lost, or find some of the content overwhelming, so I advise them to start with Ken Priebe's first book.
This book covers the latest technology, use of digital cameras, animation software, compositing, digital effects, construction techniques, materials, and more.
"The Advanced Art of Stop Motion Animation" presents variety of puppet-making techniques and character/facial animation (eg: wire armature, internal mechanisms/paddles, replacement heads, replacement face-parts, and even cable-control). For me, that reinforces the idea that there's no "right" or "wrong" way to do it, only what works for you and suits your artistic style.
One of the great strengths of this book is the interviews. Ken Priebe has interviewed some of the most talented stop-motion animation artists from around the world, and they share their likes and dislikes, tricks of the trade and inspirations. These segments are peppered with production art and behind-the-scenes photos showing how things are made.
"The Advanced Art of Stop-Motion Animation" is written in a conversational, easy to read style, and Ken Priebe's passion for animation is infectious.
