Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

With the development and accessibility of animation tools and techniques, filmmakers are blurring the boundaries between documentary filmmaking and animation. The intimacy, imperfection and charm ofnbsp;the animated form is providing live-action and animation directors with unique ways to tell stories, humanizenbsp;eventsnbsp;and convey information not easilynbsp;adapted fornbsp;live-action media. Animatednbsp;Realism presents animation techniques as they apply to the documentary genre with an inspirational behind-the-scenes look at award-winningnbsp;animated documentaries. Animators and documentary filmmakers alike will learn how to develop a visual style with animation, translate a graphic novel into a documentary and use 3D animation as a storytelling tool, all in the context of creating animated documentaries.

Withnbsp;insight and inspiration, Animatednbsp;Realism includes interviewsnbsp;fromnbsp;industry luminaries like John Canemaker, Oscar Winningnbsp;Director of Thenbsp;Moon and the Son, Yoni Goodman, Animation Director of Oscar Nominated Waltz with Bashir and Chris Landreth, Oscan Winning creator of Ryan. nbsp;Packed with beautiful, instructive illustrations and previously unpublished material (including storyboards, photos and hand-drawn sketches) and interspersed with interviews - this is an exceptional source of inspiration and knowledge for animators, students and fans alike. With a companion website featuring animated shorts from leading animated documentaries, animators, students and documentary filmmakers will be able to analyze and apply Oscar-winning animation techniques to their own films.

Includes index.
