Different Notes by Dick
- Last week I posted part of a book of notes Dick Williams took while attending a lecture series Art Babbitt gave in Dick’s studio in 1973. That was obviously a forerunner of Dick’s book, The Animator’s Survival Kit which led to his newer set of DVD’s – the Masterclass Series.
Dick’s site is interesting in that it gives a full preview of these dvd’s, so I heartily suggest you take a look. If nothing else, Dick inspires while informing.
In that last post, I talked about a second series of notes Dick had. These were more formal and swiped a lot of information from everywhere and everyone – Disney lecture notes, Preston Blair – and also notes from some of the other masters that Dick had visiting his studio.
So here are a few pages from that oversized book. No pictures – all writing. Old xeroxes.

Michael, this stuff is dynamite.
Funny how sometimes the most valuable, inspirational info, if it doesn’t have nice pictures to go along with it, never makes it into any of the books…
