Read on Hacker NewsRichard Williams (of Roger Rabbit fame)wrote an excellent book about animation called "The Animator's Survival Kit". Upvoted. As an fan of animation this is indeed an excellent book. Another one I particularly enjoyed is "The Illusion of Life" - particularly the early chapters in which the authors describe describe Walt Disney Studios during their startup days. Fascinating stuff.
Read on Hacker NewsRichard Williams (of Roger Rabbit fame)wrote an excellent book about animation called "The Animator's Survival Kit". In it he describes (illustrated with beautiful caricature) how he once asked Milt Kahl ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milt_Kahl ) "Milt, do you ever listen to classical music when you're working?" Kahl is illustrated as turning back from his work, towering over Williams and bellowing "Of all the s-s-s-stupid god-god-god-damned questions I-I-I-I've ever heard! I-I-I-I-NEVER heard such a-a-a-f-f-f-f-stupid question! Iy-Iy-Iy-Iy-I'm not smart enough to think of more than one thing at a time!" The author is then pictured with "Animation is concentration" written across the back of his shirt. I tend to agree with this sentiment when it comes to programming. If you can't have quiet, find a place where you can to start new project…
