Basics Animation 01: Scriptwriting by Paul Wells
"The Basics Animation" series follows on from the successful title "The Fundamentals of Animation" and offers a concise but comprehensive account of a number of definitions and approaches to script, drawing upon the available literature. The book adopts a straightforward approach that is diagnostic, advisory and characterized by a range of examples. Most importantly, "Basics Animation: Scriptwriting" seeks to promote the distinctiveness of animation as a form of expression, and provides a clear account of the choices and approaches available to the scriptwriter/animator/director, and the particularities of each model. Inevitably, some of these models will have common approaches, but equally, there will be localized variations dependent upon the definition/understanding of animation adopted by individuals, companies and studios.
'This book is a must-have for the independent animator's bookshelf' Melissa Piekaar, Stop Motion Magazine, June 2010. 'This is one of the best books about screenwriting to have been published in recent years ... I have used it in both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching ... and drawn on it myself in my practice as a writer and film-maker ... Highly recommended.' Kathryn Millard, Macquarie University, Australia. 'Packed full with information and examples on ways of approaching scriptwriting for animation. This will certianly be recommended to the students on our MA Animation course ... The author illustrates the information throughout the book using current examples and in-depth analysis.' Matthew Gravelle, University of Wales, UK. 'The book was very helpful for my Pre-production module. it is thoughtfully structured and the illustrations and layout are excellent and make it an interesting read for students.' Samantha Moore, University of Wolverhampton, UK.
