Summary:

This is a thorough, fact-filled guide to creating Web animations. The
beginning chapters serve as a primer for animation concepts such as
cell and flip-book animation and techniques such as onion-skinning.
But throughout the rest of the book, animators get advice on creating
animated GIFs as well as Java, QuickTime, Shockwave, and server-push
(CGI-based) animations. The authors discuss the pros and cons of each
type of animation, and provide tips on using animation-creation
software. You also get a solid discussion of Web-production issues
such as file size and cross-platform compatibility, and of sound and
special effects. This is a truly well-rounded approach, and beginning
and experienced animators alike can learn much from the book. An
included (hybrid) CD has trial versions of Macromedia Director 5 and
Authorware, animation-creation utilities, and Shockwave plug-ins.
