Animation Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Animation and design lesson 8: Part 1 test: animation · Set 571 · 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?

32. 32.🔍 Which is the odd one out? (a) ball squashes on landing (b) cat stretches mid-leap (c) slow move, more frames (d) a jelly squishes flat
33. 33.🔑 What is a keyframe? (a) a main, important pose (b) a sound effect (c) a blank page (d) a type of font
34. 34.🔑 A scene has 6 keyframes in a row, with 2 in-betweens between each pair of neighbouring keyframes. How many drawings is that in all?
