With the advent of advanced hand-held technology and the widespread nature of the Internet, the world of animated filmmaking is more exciting and accessible than ever. Due to this cultural and technological development, the success of independent animated film makers is on the rise. Independent Animation: Developing, Producing and Distributing Your Animated Films, Second Edition showcases some of the greatest, most innovative giants in the field and helps guide readers through the artistic process and production techniques. Story development, casting, color theory, distribution and the intimidating aspects of production are elucidated using various examples of acclaimed, viral and award-winning animated films from all over the world. Readers will also explore the changing nature of audiences, festivals and distributors’ relationships with animation and be granted first-hand guidance in navigating the diverse fields of animated filmmaking.

My aim with this book, as an animation enthusiast, freelancer and independent director myself, is to lay out some of the essential tenets, philosophies and creative processes behind the independent animation community’s most prominent, prolific and respected artists, so that other creatives and artists such as yourself can be motivated to put them into practical effect when it comes to your own projects.

An important thing to clarify is that this is not another book that goes through the fundamentals of animation and storytelling itself, as there are plenty of those out there, a fair few of which will most likely be on your shelves already. This book is for when you have worked through the basics of animation – your bouncing balls, flour sacks, walk cycles, lip sync exercises and layouts – and are asking yourself how precisely you wish to apply this knowledge to a film. This includes those of you who have determined that the type of animated film you wish to make will throw these fundamentals out of the window, to develop an entirely personal process from scratch. Here you will read about how popular animated films have come from such unique approaches – whether animated on laptop trackpads, using ink sprayed from syringes or on sticky notes attached to the backs of farmyard animals (seriously).
