Tony White
Tony White is a British Academy Award-winning animation director, animator, author, educator and consultant. At the beginning of his career, he studied advanced animation techniques with some of the finest masters of the art-form. Specifically: Ken Harris (original lead animator of "Bugs Bunny," "Roadrunner," etc.), Art Babbit (original lead animator on "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," etc.) and Richard Williams (3 times Oscar winner and author of "The Animator's Survival Kit"). Tony is currently animation program director and instructor at the inspirational non-profit, AIE-Seattle (www.theaie.us), where he is developing a 2-year program that will enable students to enter the industry without the extreme student loan challenges that are common at other animation schools in the USA. Tony is founder of "Drawassic Age" (www.drawassic.com), a ground-breaking animation studio that seeks to preserve, teach and evolve the art-form of traditional animation in this digital age. Tony's ultimate dream is to establish a unique atelier-style studio/academy of advanced animation - where his most talented student graduates can gain industry experience through an MFA-level style apprenticeship with master professional animators, on unique, ground-breaking animated films. To help realize this dream, Drawassic Age is currently producing a short 2D animated teaser for its first intended movie production "Bad Penguin". (www.badpenguinmovie.com) Tony's current best-selling books include: "The Animator's Workbook"; "Animation from Pencils to Pixels ~ Classical Techniques for Digital Animators"; "How To Make Animated Films" and "Jumping Through Hoops: The Animation Job Coach". His latest (and Tony believes, his best) animation book, "Animator's Notebook", is to be published in October 2011 by Focal Press.

"THE ANIMATOR'S NOTEBOOK" ~ MY NEXT BOOK!

Just created the cover art for my next book "The Animator's Notebook" - a re-edited, print edition of the 12 downloadable 'Notebook' e-tutorials to be found on this site. In an attempt to continually refine my approach to teaching the core principles of animated movement, this will be my finest shot yet at communicating those principles to anyone interested in learning animation. The book version (plus accompanying DVD of animated examples) should be available sometime this year. I'm just about to edit all the final text for my publisher, Focal Press. However, in the meantime each individual e-tutorial can be downloaded as an interactive PDF from the links to the right of on this posting. (FYI: Notebooks 10 thru 12 will be available on this site in the near future!)
