We're in the process of designing a small book of tutorials, it'll include the process of producing a digital animated short with AS. From Script to screen.
The book will also be an Art of, incorperating all of GreyKid's work. They'll also be 2 dvd's with the book. One with all our work and the other with working files.

I know the response will be enthusiastic with this one,
but I just want to let everyone know that writing a book, especially a tutorial book will take a little time. That and we also have to carry on with our normal work. (oh and judging the new AS 5 contest, I expect to recruit from this!!!)
Just want to ask everyone to be patient, it really is in the planning process at the moment and we have a lot of stuf we'd like to talk about so...
That's great! We'll wait. Did you get a publisher -FriendsofED maybe? I did some technical book review work for several book companies and I've been pestering a few, suggesting they take a look at Moho/Anime Studio for some time now -also sent them links to your work and a few of the other power hitters. I think friendsofED would be a good match as they feature artist-centric topics but there are others. Good luck!
I am really starting to itch for this type of tutorial/work flow description.
Is there any chance there may be some interesting 'behind the scenes' extras on a 'la-reine-solei' DVD in the future? ...That would be Ace!
Of course experience and skill are always going to be the major factors in any astounding piece of Animation- but delving into the 'master's mind' as it were, to discover any gems of knowledge can only help!
Also I find it endlessly interesting to see how others work, and if you can adopt a solid workflow, proven by Pros like Greykid, then it can only make your life easier (and conversely animating more fun!).
So on behalf of hungry AS Students the World over I beg of GreyKid to get all the help they need to get this tutorial project out to us as soon as possible!
..sorry for the slight rant- Im just passionate about AS and beautiful animation!

The problem is that a project like this takes a while to put together and because it is something we are doing ourselves it really gets done in down time between jobs, unfortunatly (and not!) theres a lot going through the studio at the moment.
We hope to have it ready sometime this year, but that depends on whether our new film goes into production soon.
It's an in house production and we should start it in May.
We have a lot to do until then, we aim on putting together an Art of book for agencies and other work vendors, it a small book to accompany the digital portfolio. It will also be part of the larger book we aim to produce for AS.
The film is a pilot for a series that we have created. We hope to have it finished by the fall.
Until then we have a few other things happening in the background that could come to fruition.
At the moment we are working on something for Jetix Europe.
