"HOW TO WRITE FOR ANIMATION" BY EMMY-WINNING ANIMATION WRITER JEFFREY SCOTT

Hundreds of schools around the world have animation curriculums. But how many teach animation writing the way it's actually written for film and TV?

JEFFREYUnfortunately, you can count them on your "three-fingered" hand!

Coming Soon! Yet writing is the primary stage of ALL television and film animation. Not only are there students who want to write animation as their primary career focus, but every person in the animation production process...storyboard artists, voice actors, animators, backgrounds artists, editors, producers and directors...has a vested interest in the script, because if the script isn't any good the final product won't be any better! That's why a course on animation writing should be part of every animation curriculum, and mandatory for every animation major.

Now, for the first time, there is a comprehensive, easy to understand book that teaches all steps of the animation writing process, from initial story concept through final script. How To Write For Animation, by three-time Emmy Award-winning writer, Jeffrey Scott, goes though the entire animation writing process, with simple, step-by-step examples.

Following an actual animated television episode through its premise, outline and script, Jeffrey gives the reader a complete understanding of how to come up with imaginative ideas...expand them into a solid story structure...develop original characters...write visually descriptive action...and bring it all together with witty dialogue. Here's what comic book and animation superstar, Stan "Spider-Man" Lee has to say about Jeffrey's book:

STAN"Writers! Add Jeffrey Scott's How to Write for Animation to your required reading list. As one of the top names in the animation field, a man who's done it all and done it with style, Jeffrey has not only given us the result of years of invaluable experience, but a damn good read as well."

How To Write For Animation (with a foreword by Hanna-Barbera Co-Founder, Joe Barbera) is published by The Overlook Press and distributed by Penguin-Putnam.

If you're in charge of an animation, film, TV or writing curriculum, and would like to start an animation writing class, Jeffrey would be happy to help you work out an effective course structure, using his book as the text.
