Animation Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Animation and design lesson 8: Part 1 test: animation · Set 307 · 40 questions

Creator's tip (Find the topic, use the idea): Find the topic: moving pictures, fps, flipbooks, keyframes, stop motion, principles or storyboards. Use that lesson’s rule — frames = seconds × fps; in-betweens = b − a − 1; photos = seconds × photos per second. For principles, ask: is it getting ready, bending, keeping on moving, easing, curving or about the number of frames?

37. 37.🔢 To make a stop-motion film, which comes first: “build the set and models” or “repeat photo and move”? (a) build the set and models (b) repeat photo and move
38. 38.📋 A 32-second film is planned with one panel for every 8 seconds. How many panels does the storyboard need?
39. 39.🔑 More in-betweens between two keyframes make the move … (a) slower and smoother (b) louder (c) brighter (d) faster and jumpier
