Texte suppl.

Our theoretical terms and frameworks for understanding the moving imagedeveloped primarily through encounters with live-action mediafit animation awkwardly, if at all. Pierson wipes that slate clean and starts anew with refreshing and insightful questions about animation and movement. His answers are stunning and elegant; no one who cares about animation can ignore them. This book will reset the conversation about what animation is.
