However, sometimes you don't want to carry the hefty expanded edition around with you to your college or studio if you're working on just one aspect of it that day.\nThe Animation Minis take some of the most essential chapters and make them available in smaller, lightweight, hand-bag\/backpack size versions. Easy to carry. Easy to study.\nThis Mini focuses on Directing, Dialogue and Acting.\nAs a director, whatever your idea is, you want to put it over, so the main thing with directing is to be clear - very clear. The Director's job is to hold everything together so that the animator can give the performance. Richard Williams shows how that performance can be achieved with flexibility and contrast. With Acting and Dialogue, the temptation is to try to do everything at once - Williams' advice: do one thing at a time.\n\nFrom the Back Cover\n\nThis Mini focuses on Directing, Dialogue and Acting.
