The Animation Producer's Handbook

It's the first book I've read on animation production that wasn't just a glorified autobiography about the writers 'fabulous' career!This book is for people who are unfamiliar with the business side of animation, and have the desire to find out more before they commit to it.This covers a lot of very basic information, as well as common practices and procedures. It's written in the tone of a dry instructional manual, which I appreciate. This industry (and the people in it!) are emotional enough already.After reading this, I feel better equipped to begin the process of starting my own studio.

I've worked in animation for 10 years and I've never heard of these two women, and the few credits I could find on them were 1 video game and 2 TV series, both of which I've never heard of. So, I find it strange that they would seek out to write a book about something where I'm having a hard time finding credits on them. The other producing book on Amazon the woman had a long list of credits as a production manager and several producing credits, including the new star wars film. I can't understand how I can take reccomendations from two ladies on how the biz is run, when they have zero credits from a major studio. But maybe they are attempting to speak to an audience who has zero experience in animation.

Perfect book to introduce a producer to everything related to animation. Good also for quick reminder. I would have liked to see more about CG animation, as some tech details can get outdated very quickly. We need a new edition soon!
