The Animator's Survival Kit is a must-have tool for animators, but the Animation Minis take some of the most essential chapters and make them available in smaller, lightweight, hand-bag/backpack size versions. This Mini focuses on Runs, Jumps, and Skips, which shows character and personality. Richard Williams demonstrates how to take both legs off the ground for just one frame, making a walk become a run.

The Animator's Survival Kit, authored by Richard Williams, is a comprehensive resource for animators. However, for those who require specific chapters for their daily work, the expanded edition can be cumbersome to carry. The Animation Minis address this need by offering compact, lightweight versions of essential chapters, making them easily transportable and suitable for study. This Mini, in particular, focuses on the art of Runs, Jumps, and Skips.

Just as our walking style reflects our character and personality, so does our running. A lazy, heavy person will run differently compared to an athletic ten-year-old girl. Richard Williams showcases how, by taking both legs off the ground simultaneously for just one frame, a walk can transform into a run. This principle applies to all the actions we can perform with walks, and it extends to runs as well.

The Animation Minis present a collection of runs, jumps, and skips inspired by some of the most talented artists from the Golden Age of Animation. These animations showcase the artistry and creativity that characterized that era, and they provide valuable insights and techniques for animators today. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced animator, The Animation Minis are a valuable resource for enhancing your skills and knowledge in the field of animation.
