Animation Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Animation and design lesson 8: Part 1 test: animation · Set 735 · 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?
