The Animator’s Survival Kit Collection 4 Books Set By Richard Williams (Walks, Flexibility and Weight, Dialogue Directing Acting and Animal Action & Runs Jumps and Skips)
Please Note That The Following Individual Books As Per Original ISBN and Cover Image In this Listing shall be Dispatched Collectively:The Animator’s Survival Kit Collection 4 Books Set By Richard Williams:
Walks:
This Mini focuses on Walks. Walks are full of personality. Walks reveal the character, they tell the story of the person. In this Mini Richard Williams provides the building blocks of how to construct walks, using stick figures to make it easy to learn, copy and understand.Flexibility and Weight:
This Mini focuses on Flexibility and Weight. How do we loosen things up and get snap and vitality into our performance at the same time as keeping the figure stable and solid? The answer: successive breaking of joints to give flexibility. In this mini, Williams stresses the importance of knowing where the weight is on every drawing.Dialogue, Directing, Acting and Animal Action:
This Mini focuses on Directing, Dialogue and Acting. As a director, whatever your idea is, you want to put it over, so the main thing with directing is to be clear – very clear. The Director’s job is to hold everything together so that the animator can give the performance. Richard Williams shows how that performance can be achieved with flexibility and contrast.Runs, Jumps and Skips:
This Mini focuses on Runs, Jumps and Skips.As with Walks, the way we run shows our character and personality. A lazy, heavy person is going to run very differently to an athletic ten-year-old girl. Richard Williams demonstrates how – when you’re doing a walk and you take both legs off the ground, at the same time and for just one frame – a walk becomes a run. So, all the things we do with walks, we can do with runs.Read more

A COMPLETE MANUAL & USER GUIDE ON THE DJI MAVIC 3 PRO
A triple-camera system, which takes the place of the dual-camera system found on the Mavic 3’s predecessor, is the standout feature of the Mavic 3 Pro. Similar to the iPhone camera tool, it is controlled by a single tap to switch between cameras (1x, 3x, and 7x). The Mavic 3 Pro’s triple camera setup enables users to quickly swap between shot compositions, giving content producers access to more shots in a shorter amount of time than ever before. We’re eager to explore how people will employ drones to change how viewers perceive distance and space. Although DJI has always provided drones with the capacity to monitor moving objects, avoid obstructions, and detect collisions, the Mavic 3 is where this technology-initiated advancement began. The 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera from the Mavic 3 Series is carried over into the Mavic 3 Pro. This camera is capable of 5.1K at 50 frames per second or DCI 4K at 120 frames per second and 12-bit RAW photo capture. With the new 10-bit D-Log M color mode, you may record up to a billion different colors while also achieving more natural color gradations and simpler color grading. Aside from that, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 and Apple ProRes 422 LT encoding are all supported by the three cameras that make up the Mavic Pro 3 Cine. A 1TB SSD and a 10Gbps lightspeed data connection are also incorporated into the drone.Read more
