Description: If you're looking to learn more about cartooning within Flash, there are two choices right now. There's Flash 5 Cartooning by Mark Clarkson and Flash 5 Cartoons and Games f/x and Design by Bill Turner. Both carry a pretty heafty price tag. Which is a better value? I think is Flash 5 Cartoons and Games. It's a better book than this one and I learned more. (read my review when you search the other book. I bought both) Flash 5 Cartooning covered the basics but I think the other book went more indepth. The cd with the other book is by far a better value with a 3 minute cartoon and the source file to analyze. I think that's where I learned the most. In this book, the cd is only a little enhancement, most of the stuff is of less quality.<BR>I didn't like the fact that the walk cycle examples were done with a robot. When doing animation, no one does a robot anymore. If you are looking for a job in animation, be it 2D or 3D and you put spaceships or robots on your demo reel, it gets chucked ..
