‘Animation Writing and Development’ is quite a good book, it includes chapters about history of animation, character developing, script writings and about dialogue used in animations. It also gives you a few exercise to help you attempt in storyboarding and writing scripts, which is quite nice, its not just a reading book, it lets you interact with it as well as explaining the concept.
The chapter that I was reading on was Chapter 12 which is called ‘Animation Comedy’. it Mentions “Animation uses motion and misuses the law of Physics”
Which I think is quite true, because animation is more of visual based media, where as in a movie or soap they could create humour with speech and less actions. Another quote I agree with was “the funniest comedy develops out of a character’s personality”, I agree that if the character is unique it could make the scene more interesting, and that with out personality we’re all the same, which would be quite dull to watch.
Over all I like this book, and I would read it in my free time if it was available to me, it is quite useful, I would recommend to animation students, but I think that this book is narrowed down to only animation, which is quite limited, I would suggest that all students read a wide range of book to do with films study because the concepts can be applied to many areas in animation.
