Producing Independent 2D Character Animation is a concept-to-pitch resource guide for creating and producing independent 2D character animation. However, most of the chapters pertain to all styles of animation.

It takes an in-depth look at the artistry and production process of cel animation in a friendly, how-to manner that makes the sometimes tedious process of animation enjoyable and easy to understand. This book guides animators through every step of planning and production; includes examples of actual production forms, organization tips, screen shots, and sketches from the pre- to post-production processes; and contains detailed information on the hardware and software used to complete each step.
