Over the decades, Williams created full-length features, short films, and title sequences for films as well as hundreds of commercials. Williams’ first book, The Animator’s Survival Kit, and the masterclasses he ran, saw him pass on his hard-won craft to future generations of animators. In a career that spanned more than 60 years, Williams continually pushed the art and craft of animation, through commercials, short films, film titles and animated features. Continuing to work up until his death in 2019, he received an Oscar nomination for his 6-minute hand drawn and dialogue free animated short, Prologue, which Sutton produced. The hardback version of “Adventures in Animation” hits shelves today, September 23.
