Hi, some time ago I read a review of Nancy Beiman's Animated Performance on Cartoon Brew. It looked very interesting, so (after reading some more reviews) I decided to buy it at Amazon.
A couple weeks ago it finally arrived to Chile. I can't make another review about it, but I can tell you it's fantastic and I sincerely recommend it for people who knows the basics, but wants to improve their animations.
It doesn't replace Richard Williams and Eric Goldberg books (I really recommend that two too), but complements them. The book is beautifully designed and the reading is easy to follow (that's important for whom, like me, don't domain the english language so well).
Nancy Beiman really takes in count non frame by frame ways to animate (like AS) and is more concentrated on giving life and their own personality to the characters.
