New Books for the Animation Library

New books for the library

We've got some new books for the Escape Studios Animation Library - two more copies of two of our most popular books:  The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams and "Prepare to Board" by Nancy Beiman, on the Art of Storyboarding. 

The Escape Studios Animation Library is located on the Third Floor at 190 High Holborn, outside Toontown and Winterfell classrooms. 

All the books are free to borrow and read, but you must sign them out with the little Orange Library Book (see below). 

Animation Library Books

There are hundreds of books in the Escape Studios Animation Library. We have four copies of "The Animator's Survival Kit", and also plenty of titles on development, character and creature animation, independent film finance, acting, and design.  

Recent additions include a biography of Walt Disney and also books on animating in Maya. The books are almost entirely from my personal collection - so please treat them nicely. 

Orange Library Book
Please sign books out in the Orange Library Book, where you can sign the books out, leaving the date, your name, the title borrowed and your email address. Please sign the books back in again within two weeks.

Of course, we also have an online library at Escape Studios for all our students. But sometimes you just want to read an old-school book with ink printed on paper. 

The Escape Studios Animation Blog offers a personal view on the art of animation and visual effects. To find out more about our new BA/MArt, now recruiting for September 2022,  follow this link.   To apply, visit the official page here.
