Books & such

While not so much a reference list and more of a bibliography, here is a few books that I own that will hopefully provide some information through my proposed project:

"Body Language: Advanced 3D Character Rigging" by Eric Allen and Kelly L. Murdock

"Art of Toy Story 3" by Charles Solomon and John Lasseter

"The Ballad of Rango: The Art & Making of an Outlaw Film" by David S Cohen and Gore Verbinski

"The Cinematic Art of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King" by Blizzard Entertainment

"ZBrush Character Creation: Advanced Digital Sculpting" by Scott Spencer

I also hope to gain some up-to-date and current knowledge from watching the making-of sections of DVDs like

How to Train A Dragon

Up

Despicable Me

Toy Story 3

Rango

Alice in Wonderland

Narnia: The Witch and the Wardrobe

etc...

A mix of animated features and CGI/live action films will hopefully give me a decent understanding of what happens underwear the bonnet at many animation/CGI graphics studios.

I also have a subscription to Game Develop Magazine and ImagineFX, which should be a great source of information and help throughout the year.

This is just a start to the resources I have on hand. I hope to frequently update this blog with a list of suitable media throughout my project.
