{"product_id":"infinite-animation","title":"Infinite Animation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the life and animated art of the late Adam K. Beckett. Beckett is known for his six award-winning animations, made between the years 1972-1975, that were ground-breaking at the time and that continue to influence artists today. He is also recognized for his contributions to the first \u003ci\u003eStar Wars \u003c\/i\u003emovie, as he was head of the animation and rotoscoping area. Beckett was a shooting star during a critical time of change; an innovative genius as well as a unique and compelling character. His life and work illuminates significant social and cultural changes of that time: the emerging independent animation movement of the 1970s in the United States; the rebirth of the visual effects industry; the intersection of animation with newly developed video imaging and computer graphics; and the intense Cultural Revolution that occurred in the 1960s. Beckett’s work in animation and effects was pioneering. His premature death cemented his mythic reputation as a larger than life artist and personality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive biography of Adam Beckett, based on original research \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs of and drawings by Beckett that are not yet published or available \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCritical look at his six primary films that include insight into his techniques and process \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsight into the re-emerging visual effects field, through Beckett's work at Robert Abel and Associations and Industrial Light and Magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe emergence of a \"golden age\" of independent animation in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eA comprehensive biography of Adam Beckett, based on original research\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePhotographs of and drawings by Beckett that are not yet published or available\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCritical look at his six primary films that include insight into his techniques and process\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInsight into the re-emergin visual effects field, through Beckett's work at Robert Abel and Associations and Industrial Light and Magic\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe emergence of a \"golden age\" of independent animation in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237634167128,"sku":"9780815382003","price":74.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780815382003_6e6637d5-0c20-438a-80b9-ae8820523725.jpg?v=1778817691","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/infinite-animation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
