The Animator's Survival Kit Animated

I just found out that Richard Williams' amazing book, The Animator's Survival Kit, is going to be released as a 16-DVD box set! This is book is truly one that all animators should read, if not own. If you haven't already, track it down at your local library or bookstore.

My one gripe with the upcoming DVD set is the price -- £596 (around $1200 USD) if you pre-order before November 17th, and £745 (about $1500 USD) thereafter. Why on earth did they price it so far outside the budget of students and hobbyists? As much of a fan I am of the book, I think I'll pass for now. Maybe my local library will buy a copy.
