Feeling My Way is discussed in chapter one.

Digital Encounters is a cross media study of digital moving images in animation, cinema, games and installation art. In a world increasingly marked by proliferating technologies, the way we encounter and understand these story-worlds, game spaces and art works reveals aspects of the ways in which we organise and decode the vast amount of visual material we are bombarded with each day. Working with examples from The Incredibles; The Matrix; Tomb Raider: Legend and Bill Viola's The Five Angels for the Millenium , Aylish Wood considers how viewers engage with the diverse interfaces of digital effects cinema, digital games and time-based installations and argues that technologies alter human engagement, distributing our attention across a network of images and objects. This groundbreaking study of digital technology will revitalise this area of research.

Interview and illustrated profile of The Man with the Beautiful Eyes. Film also included on accompanying DVD.

Featuring 50 seminal short films by key animators from around the world, this book discusses the work of early pioneers such as Oskar Fischinger and Jan Svankmajer as well as contemporary animators such as Larry Cuba, Jonathan Hodgson, Tim Hope and Run Wrake. All of the films included are independently produced personal work. Most of the featured directors make a living in commercial animation but, freed from the constraints of a client brief, they use their short films to experiment with new ideas and techniques, many of which subsequently find their way into commercial applications. Labors of love, these films can take years to complete – each second of the film may consist of up to 25 frames of animation. Grouped according to four main themes, all forms of animation are covered, including 2D, 3D, Claymation, stop frame and web/Flash animation. Each project is accompanied by a 500-word review including comments from the director. Details of software and method along with the internet address of the production company are given in the technical credits.
