Aardman Animations are, unquestionably, one of the biggest success stories in animated films: their masterpieces include Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep, as well as much-loved characters such as Morph. Cracking Animation is entertaining, inspiring and essential reading for all Aardman enthusiasts, students of animation or anyone who wants to try making an animated film. This revised edition includes two new chapters. Chapter 7 looks in depth at the development and teamwork involved in a major animated film or television production, using The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! as an exemplar, and Chapter 8 presents exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into the making of Aardman’s most recent feature film, Shaun the Sheep the Movie. Packed with practical, fully illustrated and step-by-step descriptions of all the elements involved, this is quite simply the best publication on stop-motion animation. Review: Really interesting for Aardman fans - A lovely book showing the history of Aardman and some behind the scenes information. From the original Aardman animation through to the Wallace and Gromit movies, it's all covered. It's also a nice big book (silly as that sounds) so you can see the illustrations and photos easily. One to keep! Review: Superb book - Excellent book with interesting history of stop motion and great hints and tips on technique etc. Very pleased and recommend.

Animated Passion!
A suprisingly informative, enthusiastic and fun introduction to the world of animation. I have used this book to great effect teaching animation to people from three yrs. old to thirty three! Each chapter is clearly articulated and lavished with large colour illustrations from the films we all know and love. The deatil of lip-synching, model making, story-boadrding and set building as well as the fundamentals of animating are communicated in such a clear and enthusiastic way, it is hard not to catch the animating bug! Great all round book, highly recommended.

Book is not in new condition
Actual book is great and very informative but I was given a damaged copy with creases on the cover and spine. Given the way the book was packed, I don’t think the damage occurred during shipping but was already damaged 😤 Would be nice to be partially refunded for buying a damaged copy.
