This site will help. This guy is one of the best out there. He is down to earth and will help answer your questions. He also co-wrote a book named “Flash Character Animation” that I recommend.

Hope this helps…Good Luck !!:s:

I’ve got that book, I’ve found it really useful.

If you want to do character animation I highly recommend the book [the Animator’s Survival Kit](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0571202284/qid=1058469616/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/026-4162119-5296446) by Richard Williams, it’s the best Animation book I’ve got, and I’ve got a dozen…

Lol, I don’t have the time to scan it.

Luksy, if you don’t have a credit card you must know someone who does that can order it and you can pay them back in cash. Maybe your parents, teacher, friend or neighbour or someone? It will be worth the effort, It is a good book, is the only book I’ve seen that properly explains lip syncing, for example!

Good Luck!

Or you could ask your local book shop if they can order it in, the ISBN number is on the amazon page, then you could buy it from them in cash or whatever.

Hope you manage to find a copy Luksy!
