Fantastic update
I was super-happy with the first edition of this book, and this 2nd edition is a wonderful update. It has new materials, chapters, exercises & illustrations. Highly recommend to anyone looking to clarify their vision & be inspired as they embark on, develop & create new work.(Here's my original review of the 1st edition: This book is great! It gave me a clear path to thinking through & clarifying my creative intentions, and then following through on a specific project. The illustrations/art are awesome -- and bonus: it's funny! A wonderful read, like someone speaking directly to you, like your own personal professor. I felt inspired and confident after I read it, and I had a firm idea about how to proceed. I'd highly recommend this one.)

Invaluable toolbox for animators (and other storytellers)
A wonderful primer for animation students and block-remover for really anyone interested in telling a story through film. With humor and tons of inspirational references, charts, and frameworks, 'Animated Storytelling" is both a stern summons to get organized and a passionate invitation to open your visual and narrative imagination as widely as possible.Written with a great sense of humor and beautifully illustrated, this book is a highly accessible way to learn from someone who has clearly gotten her own 10,000 hours of animated storytelling in and is also a supremely engaging educator - inviting readers on a narrative worldbuilding journey that is both analytical and refreshingly tangible (from pre-production and storyboarding to whipping color, sound, and design into a coherent whole). New to the second edition is a chapter on 'Unlocking your Story' which includes a number of narrative exercises and offers a smorgasboard of experimental forms to tap into - one of many ways this book condenses classic storytelling and design tricks and exciting avant-garde perspectives to help readers unlock their own creative universe.
