Review: An Excellent Learning Source - I've had this book for quite a few years now and it's a constant source of inspiration and information and a great book to come back to when working on any animation, motion design or other moving image project. Review: Stunning, informative, a must for any serious filmmaker or budding auteur. - Quite possibly the best book on filmmaking. Never be too confident to believe you have remembered everything from film school, or study, or from neither of those and learning through practise. This book reminds and informs in such glorious simplicity, beauty and intelligence. Just frigging love this book. Keep it by my bedside. Make sure to open it every week. It's a bible for film. 10/10
