BOOKS:
- Walt's People
A
casual series of interviews that give you an insight as to how the
old Disney guys worked together, and sometimes against each other.
- Disney's Nine Old Men and the art of animation
A
brilliant book on animation; this tells you about the top animators
who worked on all the classic Disney films. It doesn't pull any
punches in explaining the complicated working relationships and
egos that all went to set such excellent standards for Disney.
-
The Illusion of Life
The
original bible for animators.
-
The Art of Animal Drawing
(construction, Action Analysis, Caricature)
- Rendering in Pen and Ink: The
Classic Book on Pen and Ink Techniques for Artists, Illustrators,
Architects, and Designers
-AKIRA
An
astounding level of detail which paints a broad and sweeping brushstroak
of future humanity. Character, action and some beautiful drawings
makes this a landmark graphic novel.
-BONE
-DARK
MATERIALS TRILOGY
A
childrens adventure which takes the wizardry out of Harry Potter
and replaces it with science and religion. Ambitious stuff.
FILMS:
-My Neighbour Totoro
From
studio Ghibli in Japan - this is probably their most loved film.
-Porco
Rosa (Crimson Pig)
Another
Studio Ghibli film - and probably one of my favourite; this is about
a daring Red Baron fighter pilot, who happens to be a pig.
