three tools are still the most important: a pencil, a pile of white paper, and ideas. This principle applies in spite of the growth of studios. Departmentalisation has considerably speeded up production, but again technical elaboration has cancelled the time gained by it. Still, this book is not concerned with the over-elaborate processes developed by the big studios. What we have attempted here is to reveal the basic method of animation, in order to enable you to exploit this medium within your own means as an amateur. Since the advent of television cartooning has been given its greatest impetus and subsequently new careers have been opened to a great number of young people. I do hope that this simple book will be of use to those who have decided to enter into this new field. London, June, 1958. JOHN HALAS.
