Guerrilla Guide to Animation

.

This is a shameless plug for my friend Walter Santucci's new book, Guerrilla Guide to Animation: Making Animated Films Outside the Mainstream.

Synopsis
The Guerrilla Guide to Animation: Making Animated Films Outside the Mainstream seeks to teach those not able to afford animation training or who seek to find an alternate path. It’s meant to provide the outsider, the anarchist, the rebel, guidance into the world of 2D animation. Provocatively written, the author’s experience in directing and teaching makes him the perfect source for all of those would-be animators out there.
