Japanese Books/Magazines/Videos/CDs on Animation:Master

One of the things I enjoyed while in Japan was discovering books and magazine devoted to Animation:Master.

I think I once told the (rather humorous) story about how my family was on vacation and my father in law and I stepped into a bookstore and because it turned out to be an 'adult' bookstore I didn't really find much of anything worth buying except a few random kids books but once back on the road he revealed he had purchased a video. Curious to see what he had purchased I inquired and immediately went into shock upon seeing the cover of the video... he'd purchased the Haruwo video by Shao Guee that I had a (small) part in subtitling/translating into English (I was even thanked in the credits)! Whoa! Out of all of the videos he might randomly select... crazy.

 

Here's another treasure I happened upon by accident.

It's a book that covers all the various aspects of A:M from modeling, to texturing, to lighting, to rigging, to animating... my thought was... now why don't they have more books like this for A:M in english!

 

If I'm not breaking any laws I might share some of the internals from this book as the pictures alone are well worth 'reading'.

 

 

I know of at least one other Japanese book covering A:M that I was never able to track down while in Japan.

I saw it online for a bit more $ than I thought reasonable.

It's still on my list and who knows... perhaps someday I will retrieve it.
