You spend money on your cell phones, dvds, music cds, so you can certainly afford some books?
BUY THEM …. IT WILL SAVE YOU LEARNING TIME. Most of the books are not related to Stop Motion but cover other crafts or methods that are applicable to Stop Motion production. I am sorry to say that there is not a single book that can explain or that covers all areas of Stop Motion. You have to be a detective and do research and learn what you think, you need to know. Everyone has different levels of skills and proficiency. Stop motion like other hobbies does cost money and if that is a big issue for you, then get a job and start saving your cash. Also, at first think simple and take baby steps. Many beginners, have ambitious plans to create Stop Motion masterpieces but their projects never go anywhere because they are so overwhelmed by all the steps and complexities of Stop Motion.
