When he fell from a darkened stage in November 1996; Kirk Franklin could easily have been killed. That ten-foot plunge might have ended the career of one of Americas most exciting young prodigies. But thanks to his dramatic recovery; the fall added not only a new dimension to his story but it brought Kirk Franklin to the attention of millions who otherwise might never have heard the name.Today Kirk Franklin is bigger than ever. His recordings have topped the charts; selling more copies in less time than any gospel musician in history. He has won every award gospel music has to offer but his own success is the last thing on his mind.This is the story of a young man from the poor side of town. He was taunted and teased as a child; but his faith and his remarkable musical talent helped him overcome the odds. In these pages Kirk Franklin reveals the real source of his strength. "What motivates me;" he says; "is the knowledge that God has redeemed me from the pain and the hurts and the sin of my past and given me a new joy I cant even explain. Its not just for show;" he says. "Its the truth; and thats what I want to express."

Timing is everythingBy Crystal KReally helped me understand how to make my 2D drawings more cartoony and have that visual oomph needed to convey emotions and action from 2D into the real world.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Another great bookBy A YouI have many books on the topic and this is a very. very good one. Timing is key and this book proves it. I have many (character) animation books and this one is one of my last purchases. Is it new material. well for the time of its printing. yes. but many books today have used this books information in various ways. The fact that it is a shorter book makes it easy to access information. What the topic of character animation really needs is a book solely for CG. If this books information was transferred to CG tools it would be the bible. Timing charts are great for 2D but for CG we need to know how to apply this to the graph editor and dope sheet. Im still waiting for that book. :)2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I need more!!!By WumpshireIts a great book. yet its too short. I could have used 1000 more pages. I want all kinds of walks. jumps. swings. at different angles. I wish it was organized in levels of difficulty as well. Start out simple. basics like squash and squish. walk cycles. then more dynamic movements. its sort of all over the place. All in all. its a great resource and if you can pick it up for under $10. you wont be disappointed. Yet. I am still searching for a comprehensive book focused on timing and motion for animation.
