The reader will not only learn how to execute these techniques through descriptive chapters but also experience them with the carefully designed exercises included at the end of this book. There are many other aspects of filmmaking including design, sound, cinematography, lighting, and animation principles that make this a thorough study in nonpuppet stop motion.

This edition includes insights from the author, an experienced stop motion puppet and nonpuppet animator, as well as filmmakers from Japan to Eastern Europe to Argentina and North America.
