Traditional animation systems of interchangeable characteristics, predictable story telling and limited movements are being overturned by a new generation of character designers who are redefining the craft. Pictoplasma’s second volume of the Characters in Motion series documents the latest developments of this revolution in a DVD and book set, which showcases over 50 forward-looking, stylistically outstanding studios, animators and designers in three hours of programming.
